chapter 5

41: One Piece of Bread and Five Hundred Thousand Soles

At the entrance of the "Future" cabin, Frank heard Arthur say that he was very interested in biology and had many interesting ideas in this regard.

And when he had to discuss relevant knowledge with himself during the subsequent trip, his enthusiasm suddenly increased.

He excitedly led Arthur into the cabin and walked deeper into the corridor.

Cattleya from behind saw this scene and seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just let out a heavy sigh.

She entered the cabin thoughtfully, following Arthur and Frank.

When he was about to step onto the stairs and reach the higher floor, Arthur turned his head and cast his eyes on the shadow on the side.

The darkness twisted there, and a figure grew out, a tall, thin and pale figure.

The skin on his cheeks was almost transparent, and the bridge of his nose was uncoordinately high, giving him a sickly feeling.

"This is the second officer of our Future, Heath Doyle." Frank Lee introduced Arthur.

Heath Doyle, the "Bloodless One", or Heath Doyle, the "Chosen One".

Arthur smiled at this extraordinary person with extraordinary luck and said hello.

Heath nodded in return, then retreated into the shadows in silence.

"Don't worry, his character has always been like this." Frank Lee said with a smile.

"Of course not, everyone's personality is different." Arthur said nonchalantly.

Frank continued to introduce Heath's situation to him:

"He is a 'Rose Bishop', but don't worry, he just became a 'Rose Bishop' because he was accidentally sprinkled with magic potion, and is not a believer of the 'True Creator'.

Since he has not experienced the "listener" stage, he can remain normal and not be contaminated as long as he does not use the extraordinary ability of "listening". "

"Lucky indeed." Arthur agreed.

If a talent like this takes the path of "monster", then all the big and small snakes may have to step aside.

It's a pity that the talents of each extraordinary path are not in this path...

Then the three of them came to the captain's cabin. Cattleya opened the door of the captain's cabin, pointed inside and said:

"Your room is diagonally opposite. Frank will take you there. If anything happens, you can come directly to me here.

"You can go to the restaurant to dine at any time, or you can have Frank send food to your room."

"Okay, thank you very much, Ms. Cattleya." Arthur thanked him.

"You're welcome." Cattleya walked into the captain's room and said with a smile.

At this time, Frank Lee, who saw the two sides finished talking, said enthusiastically:

"Come on, I will take you to your room to put your luggage first, and then we will go to the laboratory to discuss biology."

Arthur nodded and left the door of the captain's cabin with him.

Cattleya, who was about to close the door, froze when she heard the conversation between the two.

She watched the two people leaving, hesitated for a moment, and then followed their footsteps.

Arthur followed Frank Lee to his room and put his luggage in the room.

Afterwards, he followed Frank to his laboratory.

After entering the laboratory, Frank began to introduce his experimental results to Arthur enthusiastically.

"Look, these are all researched by me. This is a fish that can squeeze out milk. This is obtained by crossing medicine and fruit. It can make taking medicine a pleasure. And this..."

Arthur felt eye-opening as he looked at the results that Frank had produced.

After the introduction, Frank took Arthur to the chair next to the table and sat down.

"How's it going? Have you appreciated the beauty of breed hybrid technology? Believe me, the future of mankind must be in it." Frank said excitedly.

Arthur listened to him quietly, and then asked:

"Frank, you are from the Church of the Mother Earth, right?"

"Yes," Frank said, "I was an orphan and was adopted by the Mother Goddess Church. It was like my home.

"But that all changed when I became a biologist and started doing research on species hybridization.

"I just tried to cross a bull, a cow, and wheat so that the calves could grow like wheat, but I was almost sent to trial by the people from the Mother Goddess Church. They didn't understand the Mother Goddess's will at all.

"After that, I left the Church of the Mother Goddess and came to the Future. I can continue my research here, so I am very happy here."

"Frank, do you want those who misunderstood you to regret?" Arthur asked calmly.

"Of course, I always want to prove that I am right. They don't understand the true meaning of the Mother Goddess' teachings at all." Frank waved his hands vigorously, showing great anger.

"I can help you, help you fulfill your dreams, and help you prove yourself." Arthur approached him and said softly.

"What to do?" Frank was moved.

"You were an orphan before. Have you ever tasted hunger?" Arthur did not answer directly, but asked in a calm voice.

"Of course, that feeling is very uncomfortable. When I am extremely hungry, I will even think that no matter who it is, as long as they can give me some food, I will give anything." Frank nodded, recalling being The hard days before church adoption.

"Yes, hunger can make people crazy, lose their minds, and even lose their humanity and dignity. So, Frank, do you know how many people are still hungry in the world?" Arthur looked at him and asked.

"I... don't know." Frank shook his head.

"Take the East District of Backlund as an example. Most people can't even guarantee daily food and clothing. They have no place to live. A room as big as a palm has to be divided into different time periods in the morning, noon, and night. , to be used by different people.

Therefore, they can only continue to be squeezed and use their already weak bodies to obtain the little food that cannot even fill their stomachs. "

"Isn't there...a workhouse? I remember that the workhouse seemed to be able to..." Frank was a little unbelievable.

"Frank, do you know what it's like to be cornered?"

Arthur interrupted, saying: "The workhouse is a drop in the bucket because it gives people no hope.

"It just gives those desperate people a little breather before they fall into deeper despair.

"What's more, even the small amount of money allocated to the workhouse will be deducted from each other. In the end, only..."

Arthur's voice paused. He felt that if he continued to speak, he might be punished by a mysterious force from another world, so he did not discuss this topic in depth.

He looked at Frank and whispered, "But you can, Frank, you can give people hope."

42 The Painter's First Speech

After listening to Arthur's words, Frank suddenly became happy. He felt that his research had greater significance.

"Yes, species hybridization technology can create special species, such as cattle that can grow out of the ground like wheat.

"This kind of technology can be used to solve the food problem. There will definitely be fewer people going hungry in the future."

…

Outside the door of Frank's laboratory, Cattleya stood quietly, listening to the conversation inside.

"Are you worried about them?" A soft voice came from behind her.

"Queen." Cattleya turned around and bowed.

Bernadette looked at the room with deep eyes. Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thin door and see the scene inside.

She said calmly: "They are trying to do something that can change the world."

Cattleya asked doubtfully: "Queen, you seem to have great confidence in them?"

"Yes, I have confidence in them." Bernadette's voice was determined.

"But, can Frank really do such a thing? He has only been able to develop some strange things, let my ship... let the crops change according to his ideas, this is incredible." Guardian. Liya felt that this was completely whimsical.

In her opinion, this kind of thing already involves the realm of creation, and it is impossible for a sequence six "biologist" to do such a thing.

And judging from Frank's previous results, there have never been problems with his stuff.

"Before my father changed the world, who in the world would have believed that humans could create a machine that could move on its own without the involvement of extraordinary abilities?" Bernadette said softly. asked rhetorically.

"But the Great Emperor is different. And the machines are dead things, but what they want to do is already entering the realm of creation." Cattleya retorted in disbelief.

"They are all the same." Bernadette looked at the scene in the room quietly and did not continue talking.

all the same? Cattleya looked at Bernadette and then at the room, looking a little confused.

The conversation in the room continued.

"So, do the special species you want to create need to be taken care of by extraordinary people?" Arthur asked.

"Uh... Of course, is it possible to let ordinary people come? They can't take care of this special extraordinary species." Frank said with some confusion.

"No, you don't understand that the people who can really change the world are ordinary people without extraordinary abilities." Arthur shook his finger and said inscrutably.

"Do you know how many extraordinary people there are in this world?" He tapped the table gently and asked.

"Uh...thousands? Tens of thousands? To be honest, I don't quite understand this." Frank shook his head and replied.

Arthur didn't really want to ask for specific numbers, he just wanted to lead to the next topic.

"Even if it's tens of thousands, do you know how many times there are ordinary people than extraordinary people?"

"Ten times? More than a hundred times." Arthur said firmly without waiting for Frank to answer.

"But although there are many of them, they don't have extraordinary abilities." Frank was a little puzzled.

"No, you don't understand. Even if you can breed all kinds of magical creatures, how much food can you breed and how many people can you feed?" Arthur stood up and said condescendingly.

"Frank, you are just one person, and it is impossible for all the extraordinary people in the world to go and take care of your crops."

"However, these special species I have researched must be looked after by extraordinary people. Otherwise, some... uh... strange things will happen." Frank said with some difficulty.

"Yes, that's why I suggest you give up research on this special species you mentioned, because they can't possibly change the world."

Arthur stood in front of Frank, denied the results he had been proud of, and then quickly continued:

"But if you could develop a high-yielding crop that ordinary people can grow, have a short growth cycle, and can adapt to various extreme environments, what would it bring to you?"

He tapped his fingers hard on the table, making his words more powerful and touching:

"At that time, the seeds of this crop will spread throughout the world, and all the land in the world will be planted with the food crops you have researched, and the Church of the Mother Goddess will become the largest church.

"From Roen to Intis, from Fusac to Balam, people in all lands will call your name, and you will also become Saint Frank!"

Arthur waved his arms and said sonorously.

"But, can I...can do it?" Frank couldn't believe it.

"Of course, believe in yourself. Next, I will tell you what the real hybrid technology is..."

Outside the door, Cattleya heard that everyone was in confusion. She felt that either she was crazy, or the two people inside were crazy.

If you just want to develop a semi-out of control high-yielding crop that only extraordinary people can take care of, then that's fine. After all, it seems a little bit reasonable.

Based on Frank's previous record, if he's lucky, he might be able to succeed.

But now Arthur actually said that such species are garbage. Let us develop a high-yielding crop that ordinary people can grow, have a short growth cycle, and can adapt to various extreme environments.

Such bizarre words made her think that Arthur must have eaten something given by Frank and damaged his brain.

And the most important thing is that her queen didn't feel unusual at all when listening to the words of the two people inside.

This made her feel that there was something wrong with either herself or the people next to her.

Just when she was about to open the door and go in, the two people inside who had started talking nonsense could clear their minds.

A soft voice came from behind her: "Don't disturb them, this is a good thing."

Cattleya turned back, looked at Bernadette and said, "Queen, I just think this is a bit..."

"Don't worry, they are not crazy. You have been busy all day today, so go back and rest first." Bernadette said.

"Then...okay." Cattleya said helplessly.

She turned around and was about to leave, when she suddenly noticed a sacred aura appearing in the room.

She paused in her steps and looked back at the closed laboratory door, feeling a little unresponsive for a moment.

When she came back to her senses and realized what had happened, she asked in surprise: "The breath of the true God!?"

43 The great road begins here

"The characteristics of living things are controlled by a special genetic factor, which I call a gene. It can..."

In Frank's laboratory, Arthur was telling Frank about the biological knowledge he learned in high school in terms that were more suitable for this era, while Frank buried his head and wrote hard.

Frank has never been so excited as he is today. He feels that the knowledge he has learned today can allow him to touch a new field that he has never reached before.

Some of the problems that he couldn't figure out when he was doing research before were solved by Arthur's explanation.

"Genes are generally divided into dominant and recessive. They control the expression of different traits of organisms. Therefore, we can..."

Frank took notes carefully. As he wrote, he suddenly stopped when he heard Arthur's voice narrating.

He raised his head in confusion and found that the whole room was bathed in divine light. Frank was stunned and murmured: "The Mother Goddess..."

After being stunned for a while, Frank finally came to his senses. He drew a simple Holy Symbol of Life on his chest, then stretched out his hands and chanted in a low voice:

"Thank you, source of life!"

"Praise be to You, Mother of all things!"

…

"Hoo~"

The sacred light in the room slowly disappeared, and Arthur let out a sigh of relief. He glanced at the sacred emblem of the Earth Mother that had just appeared on the back of his right hand, and said to himself:

"Good guy, one on each side, now it's symmetrical."

Just when he was telling Frank about biological genes, while he was talking, he suddenly found himself being looked at by a divine and loving gaze.

That look came from the Earth Mother Goddess, which expressed the favor from the true God, and Arthur naturally accepted it without hesitation.

Just kidding, that's the Earth Mother Goddess Lilith, the strongest among the seven righteous gods, the winner of the Night and Twilight Battle, it can be said to be an old coin among old coins.

With such a golden thigh stretched out, Arthur couldn't let it go, so he hugged it without hesitation.

Frank stood up, bowed, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the Favored One of God."

Arthur smiled and returned the salute, and said: "Your Excellency, God's Favored One, we can just do what we did before, without so many etiquettes."

Frank also laughed immediately. He was not the kind of person who abided by the rules, otherwise he would not have caused so many things in the Mother Goddess Church.

Frank asked, "Then, shall we continue?"

Arthur shook his head and said: "The theory is just a theory after all, it just points you in a direction. The most important thing from now on is the research you carry out."

What he proposed is just a direction, which is equivalent to a revelation. Naturally, the specific experimental operations still need to be completed by professionals.

And he doesn't have much left in his stomach. After all, he didn't specialize in this before.

So Arthur just instilled some of the conceptual knowledge he had learned into him, and Frank could only rely on Frank to continue his research.

In other words, he could no longer pretend to be a wolf with a big tail, so he had no choice but to run away quickly.

Frank was a little disappointed, but when he saw the notebooks full of writing on the table, he suddenly became happy again.

He said excitedly:

"Arthur, I feel like I have a lot of new inspirations. I will definitely successfully develop the high-yielding crops you mentioned. Wait for my good news!"

"Well, come on. In addition, you have to remember that this kind of crop should be easy for ordinary people to take care of. Don't deviate from this original intention." Arthur finally warned.

"Okay, I will definitely remember it." Frank promised, patting his chest.

Seeing Frank's injection of chicken blood, Arthur walked out of the laboratory feeling somewhat guilty.

As soon as he opened the door, Arthur found Cattleya and Bernadette, mother and daughter, standing outside the door.

Arthur turned around and closed the door of the laboratory, knowingly asked: "Ladies, why are you here?"

Bernadette looked at Arthur quietly and said nothing.

Cattleya replied: "Mr. Arthur, I am... because I am a little worried about Frank, so I came to take a look. After all, he sometimes comes up with some weird things."

"I was a little reckless this time, I'm sorry." Arthur said apologetically.

He didn't think about this problem at first. It wasn't until he went out and saw Cattleya that he realized that he was causing trouble on someone else's ship and was caught red-handed, which made him blush a little.

"It doesn't matter. Since nothing happened this time, I'll go back and rest first. Mr. Arthur, you should also rest early." Cattleya glanced at Bernadette, then said goodbye to Arthur and left.

None of the three people mentioned the aura of the god that appeared just now, as if nothing happened just now.

After Cattleya left, Bernadette said, "Do you know what the consequences of what you just did will be?"

"I know, but what's wrong with that?" Arthur looked at her with a smile and asked.

"You and my father both want to change the world." Bernadette spoke softly, with a touch of longing in her voice.

"That may be because it is difficult for us to adapt to such a world, so we can only change the world to adapt to us."

Arthur smiled and then said:

"Did you know? There have been many famines in our history, and after such disasters, there will only be a few brief entries in the history books."

Arthur shrugged and said, "But how can those few words alone describe one ten thousandth of the suffering at that time?"

"However, this will bring a lot of changes and have unpredictable consequences." Bernadette reminded.

"Only when a person is full can he have time to think about other things." Arthur said nonchalantly.

His gaze swept across Bernadette's veil, looked into her eyes quietly, and said:

"No matter what you want to do, sufficient food is a must."

"Moreover, sufficient food will make people feel at peace and stop seeking the blessings of all kinds of weird evil gods. The gods will also have more abundant and stable anchors."

"Yes, but what happens next?" Bernadette asked.

"Let's talk about what happens next. You can't stop eating just because you might choke, right?"

Arthur smiled slyly and walked to his room.

Is this world really that bad? Bernadette looked at Arthur's back and said to herself.

His father once wanted to change the world.

And now, the man in front of her, who obviously had a close relationship with her father, expressed the same thought.

This made her feel a little unreasonable, a little more ashamed and embarrassed.

44: Gathering tens of thousands of people can also form an army!

As Arthur walked in the quiet corridor, the thoughts in his mind began to drift away.

He didn't expect that Lilith would react so quickly.

Although believers can be regarded as the eyes of the true God, Frank is indeed a believer of the Mother Earth.

But Lilith directly made him and Frank the God's Favored Ones when Arthur had just come up with the theory.

Such a fast reaction still made Arthur feel a little confused.

It's not that he thought Lilith's decision to place the bet before the results were announced was too hasty.

Because he is different from the venture capital bosses in Arthur's previous life.

As a true god, Lilith is wise enough to discern whether a theory is valuable.

In addition, He still has enough resources to try and make mistakes for this new theory.

What's more, Lilith is also an ally of the goddess of the night. In so many years of dealings with her, he will not gain nothing from the goddess.

His vision is naturally a little different from that of the aborigines here.

And from the perspective of people here, the true God's favor must be extremely precious.

But in Arthur's eyes, the value of God's favor still depends on the specific analysis of specific characters.

In the mysterious world, the most famous person favored by God is naturally Russell.

Steam Princess's love for him was profound and her care was attentive.

Being able to forcibly save several of Roselle's children from the Sauron family and the Eternal Sun, and even having one of them directly escorted to the angels, shows how much the Steam Queen cares for Roselle.

Moreover, Huang Beibei single-handedly established Element Dawn to fight against the Moss Ascetic Society. Arthur would not believe it if there was no Steam Church supporting him behind the scenes.

Not only that, after Russell's death, the Church of Steam held Russell exhibitions in various places without stopping, for fear that people would forget about him.

It can be said that the value of Steam Queen's love for Russell is quite high.

Of course, from the perspective of a time traveler, Bonova's loss of humanity due to his rapid promotion must also be very disgusting.

But in this matter, Steam Princess actually didn't have any bad intentions, and she did something bad with good intentions.

In addition to Russell, the more famous favored ones in the mysterious world include Klein, Bishop Utravski, Bonova and Lovia of Silver City.

And, our dear Mr. "Blaze" Daniz.

In a sense, the members of the Tarot Society can also be regarded as the favored ones of the Fool.

Naturally, the degree of favor received by the above-mentioned gods' favored ones also varies.

Among them, the one with the worst ending was naturally Elder Lovia of Silver City. She and Colin died together before dawn.

Therefore, the value of the identity of God's Favorite actually depends on how much the True God values ​​you and the status of the True God himself.

Arthur has now become the favored one of the Earth Mother Goddess, and can be regarded as a colleague of Bishop Utravsky.

Just looking at the bishop's experience in the original work, we can see that becoming a favored one of the Mother Goddess of the Earth is not a very tricky thing.

At least it's not like the true favored ones, who can't even save their lives if they don't say they are crazy.

Unlike the favored ones of the old storm dove, when they call for God's help, they will be chopped down by God together with the enemy. Life and death depend entirely on luck.

In Arthur's memory, although the Earth Mother was in charge of the "cultivator" and "medicine" paths, she preferred to accept extraordinary people outside of these two paths to become her followers.

For example, he accepted the warrior Bishop Utravsky as his favorite.

From this point of view, there seems to be nothing wrong with Lilith accepting Arthur as her favored one because of the knowledge Arthur told Frank.

But Frank can only be regarded as a non-mainstream believer. Even if Arthur told him that knowledge, it would be unlikely that he would attract the attention of the Earth Mother so quickly.

Could it be that the Earth Mother has been keeping an eye on Frank to prevent him from doing anything and destroying the world? It couldn't be that he was staring at me. I had no contact with the Church of the Earth before... Arthur thought for a while and felt that he had no clue, so he simply regarded it as the power of the true God and didn't bother to think about it any more.

As for the impact of informing Frank about the concepts of genetic engineering to study high-yielding food crops, Arthur naturally knew it in his heart.

More food production will definitely lower the price of food, thus liberating more people from the land.

Most of the surplus labor liberated from the land will enter factories, which will stimulate factories to expand production and the number of workers will also greatly increase.

In the original work, why are the workers in Backlund's East Side subjected to unbridled oppression?

One of the main reasons is that their number is too small, their voices are not loud enough, and their power is not strong enough.

They are powerless in front of those big aristocrats and big capitalists. The Loen police will not care about their life or death, because these police officers are not paid by them.

If the police of the Kingdom of Loen help them, there will be no profit at all, and they will not get any benefits.

Therefore, it is difficult for these people in the East District to live a simple life. They are weak and ignorant, and most of them cannot even live past the age of thirty.

Therefore, they were unable to provide the gods with a solid enough anchor, so the church would not make great efforts to save them, not to mention that it would be difficult for the church to intervene in the affairs of the kingdom.

Their country has abandoned them, and the righteous gods will not pay attention to them, so what can they do?

Then they can only use their weak bodies to work hard to earn a meager income, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

These people are like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, even worse than pigs. At least the pigs can still eat enough before they die.

One by one, they entered the millstone made of flesh and blood in the East District, and were captured by Qiao San, a bastard, to repair the tomb. After the repairs, they would be silenced. At the same time, they would be used by the Aurora Society and the Witch to squeeze out their pain and despair. Attracting the evil god to come.

Even after the Backlund Great Smog Incident, the Kingdom of Loen finally woke up and planned to start governing the East District, but it was only because of the fear of the evil god that it did so.

Because these people in the East District are powerless, they cannot pose any threat. In this world with extraordinary abilities, they are like weeds growing on the ground, and anyone can step on them.

However, once Frank's experimental research is successful, the increase in food production brought about by high-yield crops will force a large number of people from the land into factories.

The people on the land and the people in the factory will be closely integrated to form a powerful group. At that time, all that is needed is...

45 Preparation before entering the Tarot session

"Ahem." Arthur coughed twice and didn't dare to think any more.

If he continues to think about it, if he is punished by a mysterious force from another world, it will be the end.

Since he has become an Extraordinary in the hunter path, the path he will take in the future must be the path of "gathering the crowd".

As for how to "gather people", his predecessors in his previous life naturally set him good examples.

The most typical one is, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky will stand."

For example, "a loaf of bread costs half a million marks."

Another example...wait.

In short, whether it is theoretical knowledge or practical cases, there will be no shortage of it in the history of Arthur's previous life.

Of course, if it comes to actual practice, Arthur doesn't know how much he has the level of those seniors.

After all, there is a saying that once you know your eyes, you can't use your hands. Naturally, there are many people who are invincible in theory but stretch their hips in practice.

But it doesn't matter, after all, those things are still far away, and he is still just a small Sequence Eight.

He has enough time to try and see if he has any talent in that area.

If there is, then everything is easy to say.

If not...

Then give up the idea of ​​​​making trouble, join the Church of Fools, and fish in the water every day under Mr. Ke. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?

Speaking of Mr. Ke, he should have landed some time ago.

It is already the afternoon of July 16th. If we calculate the time, Mr. Ke should be holding his fourth Tarot meeting.

Arthur has never tried to join the Tarot Club before. The main reason is that he has never had a good way to join the Tarot Club in a reasonable way.

He himself has no items with the aura of Source Castle.

Moreover, his golden finger has neither the ability to secretly change concepts nor the ability to directly create items related to Source Castle.

So before that, Arthur was just focusing on his performance and promotion.

But today, when Arthur had a close encounter with Cattleya, he discovered that his emblem could actually extract the aura of the Origin Castle that she carried on the astrology instrument that allowed her to join the Tarot Society.

So when Arthur was following Cattleya, he secretly took a little breath of Origin Castle from the astrology device.

He didn't pick up too much, after all, Cattleya would have to rely on Mr. Fool to save her life when she was promoted later.

And in fact, whether Arthur can successfully enter Source Castle, what matters is not how many items with the flavor of Source Castle there are, but whether Klein is willing to let him in.

Therefore, he actually only needs a little bit of Origin Castle's aura to ensure that Klein notices him.

As long as Klein notices him, Arthur can naturally find a way to make him curious, drag him to Source Castle, and join the Tarot Club.

...

Returning to his room, Arthur took out the box that Daniz had given him before leaving, wanting to see what Mr. Flame's parting gift was to him.

"Huh? This is..."

Arthur looked at several materials in the box, then took out the "Arsonist" formula and compared it, and found that it was actually an auxiliary material for the "Arsonist" potion.

"This guy can handle it... I have to find an opportunity to repay him in the future." Arthur solemnly put the box away.

In terms of value alone, the auxiliary materials for Sequence Seven potions are actually not too expensive, only about two to three hundred pounds at most.

But there is no doubt that it will take some effort to collect them.

Now Daniz has helped him collect these miscellaneous supporting materials, which saves Arthur a lot of things and saves him from having to worry about looking everywhere.

After sorting out the auxiliary materials given to him by Daniz, Arthur began to prepare to enter the Tarot Society.

It was just after three o'clock in the afternoon, and Klein should still be in the process of his fourth Tarot session.

Therefore, Arthur still had plenty of time to prepare.

It was said to be preparation, but in fact it was just a change of style to one's clothes to make the characteristics of the time traveler on one's body more conspicuous.

Arthur had been wearing Anduin's clothes before. Although the aristocratic clothes with blue background and gold trim were very recognizable, they were still not as good as the one Arthur was going to change into next.

He faced the mirror and controlled the hidden sword to transform himself into a suit of armor.

"Well, is the armor transformed by the Hidden Blade just a fake? It has no defensive capabilities."

Arthur knocked on his armor and said with some regret.

But he was actually mentally prepared for this. After all, the main function of the hidden sword was still as a weapon.

Its ability to transform clothes is actually just incidental, and this has already saved Arthur a lot of money on clothes.

If the armor it transformed had substantial defensive capabilities, then this magical item would be a bit too buggy.

If this magical item was so powerful, Edwina probably wouldn't put the Hidden Blade on the bottom of the box.

And it will probably become more difficult to deal with, and it is unlikely that Arthur will use some means to subdue it so easily.

After Arthur changed himself into a suit of armor, he had completely changed his appearance.

His original aristocratic clothing with blue background and gold edges was replaced by a pair of handsome armor with silver background and gold edges. The armor's shoulders and chest were decorated with lion heads, and several blue ribbons hung down from his waist, making him look mighty and luxurious.

"High King Anduin, well, this looks right." Arthur looked at his new look and said with satisfaction.

After all, the previous appearance of little prince Anduin was the priest professional skin from Hearthstone. It was a 3D appearance that was changed from a 2D image, so it was somewhat difficult to recognize.

The reason why he was recognized by Bernadette at the pirate conference was mainly because of Russell's cheating thing.

And the current High King Anduin is a CG from Warcraft.

As we all know, Glass Slag is a movie company.

The quality of the CG they produced is quite high, and the degree of realism is naturally very high, making it easy to recognize.

Yes, Arthur plans to directly reveal his identity as a time traveler.

For him, there is actually no harm in directly revealing the identity of the time traveler to Klein.

On the contrary, this makes it easier to get close to Klein and build a good relationship with him.

Moreover, Klein has a good character and is kind but not pedantic. As a friend, he can be said to be quite reliable.

Of course, this is because Arthur came to a mysterious world, and he did this only when he met Klein.

If it were another person, such as Tang Fozu, Arthur would not dare to reveal his identity.

After all, "You have a way to die" is still very powerful.

After changing his appearance, Arthur calculated that the time was almost up, then he took out the Skull of Gul'dan, released a wisp of Origin Castle aura, and began to mutter.

46 Above the Gray Fog

Above the gray mist, Klein sat quietly at the top of the long bronze table. He had just concluded a Tarot session.

At the meeting, Klein used the innocent Miss Justice to gain some knowledge about the secret organization from Mr. Hanged Man.

From Mr. Hanged Man's narrative, Klein learned the news that the Hidden Sage had come back to life, and also learned that the Righteous God Church was actually the earliest secret organization.

In addition, he also learned part of the information about the Secret Order that he was most concerned about now.

After confirming this knowledge with what he learned one by one, Klein grasped the core elements of the Secret Order's actions:

They are after the items left behind by the Antigonus family!

This allowed him to preliminarily determine the action plan to find the Secret Order through the remaining traces of the Antigonus family to obtain the formula for the "Joker" potion.

After thinking for a while, Klein rubbed his eyebrows and tried to imagine a "trumpet".

Because he needed to maintain his composure during the Tarot Club, and it was difficult for him to say many things by himself, he thought of making a "trumpet" to try.

As soon as Klein finished his thoughts, he saw a figure appearing at the bottom of the long bronze table.

The figure was wearing a black tuxedo and a half-high silk top hat, with a dull expression and dull movements.

Even though it was shrouded in illusory gray fog, it was obvious that something was wrong with it.

No way... Klein experimented a few more times, sighed, and gave up the idea of ​​creating a trumpet.

After trying something else, he continued to sit above the gray mist, sitting at the head of the long bronze table. Thinking about Audrey's previous words, he curiously cast his gaze at the illusive, crimson stars.

After a moment of silence, Klein began to try to contact the stars by responding to prayers rather than establishing contact.

Unfortunately, he did not get any information from the dozen or so crimson stars nearby.

Could it be that he had to establish contact first and pull the person into the gray mist before he could respond... Klein nodded thoughtfully, feeling slightly disappointed.

He doesn't want to force others into this mysterious space against their will.

Just as Klein was about to leave, he accidentally came into contact with a nearby illusory star.

At this time, he suddenly felt that there was a weak and indistinct prayer in the crimson stars.

Klein perked up and let his spirituality spread, making contact with the star.

What appeared in front of him was a young man with brown hair.

The black tight-fitting clothes that the boy wore were completely different from the fashion trends in the Kingdom of Loen. They were also quite different from the traditional clothing of foreign countries such as the Feysac Empire and the Republic of Intis that Klein had seen in magazines.

The environment around him was dark, with old tables and chairs that were illuminated by sudden bursts of light from time to time, but Klein could not hear the roar of thunder or the sound of raindrops.

In the picture, the young man put his hands on his forehead and bowed his body forward. He was praying for something, and his thick voice lingered in Klein's ears.

After Klein tried to listen to the boy's prayers, he found to his embarrassment that he couldn't understand them.

He had no choice but to observe the young man for a period of time and supplement his knowledge of foreign languages ​​during this period.

But when Klein was about to end his trip to the gray fog and return to the real world, he discovered that next to an illusory crimson star, another small and dim star had differentiated.

"Hey~ What day is it today? Why is it so lively?"

This sudden change made Klein stop leaving the gray mist. He was both delighted and a little surprised.

He once again let his spirituality spread and touched this new little star.

When he saw the picture inside, his eyes suddenly widened and he said in disbelief:

"Anduin!?"

Klein looked at the familiar attire of the young man in the picture, and for a moment he thought he was dreaming.

But he quickly reacted and thought that this might be a style of armor formed due to the influence of Emperor Russell.

At this time, the young man in the picture played with the skull in his hand, sighed, and said to himself:

"Hey, I've been coming to this damn place for a while, but I still can't get used to the food here. I really miss it..."

Klein looked at the orc skull in the young man's hand in the picture, and muttered in surprise:

"Isn't he holding the Skull of Gul'dan?"

After hearing the young man muttering to himself in the picture, Klein began to feel that this young man might be a time traveler like himself.

This discovery made Klein excited. He originally wanted to pull the young man into the gray fog immediately to ask for details, but out of caution, he planned to observe it for a while before making a decision.

But at this time, he found that the picture in front of him was like a poorly connected TV, flickering from time to time.

This small star that suddenly appeared began to become looming, as if it would be disconnected from the gray fog at any time.

After seeing this scene, Klein understood that if he didn't take action, the clues about the time traveler he finally encountered would be gone. He had no choice but to decisively reach out and touch the star that was about to extinguish.

On the Future, Arthur sat at the table and played with the orc skull in his hand. The weakening of the connection with the gray mist just now was naturally due to his handiwork.

He knew that with Klein's cautious character, even if he directly revealed his identity as a time traveler, Mr. Ke would probably choose to observe for a while before making a decision.

And Arthur did not have the complete Source Castle items in his hand, only a little stolen Source Castle aura, which would dissipate after two or three uses at most.

Therefore, he must seize the opportunity, and it would be best if Klein can directly drag him to Source Castle for the first time.

So, while Arthur was thinking about it, he gradually withdrew the aura of Sefirah Castle in his hand little by little, acting as if he would be disconnected at any time.

Sure enough, after Arthur used this little trick, he saw the Skull of Gul'dan in his hand burst into crimson light, flooding him all of a sudden.

When he regained consciousness, he found that he was standing in a majestic palace supported by huge stone pillars. In front of him was an ancient and mottled bronze long table. Opposite the long table sat a figure shrouded in thick gray fog.

Arthur looked around, then looked nervous and asked: "Dear Sir, may I ask where this place is? Why did you bring me here?"

"This is my residence, you can call me, The Fool." Klein's leisurely voice echoed in the palace.

"And the purpose of bringing you here," he chuckled and said, "is because I am very interested in your strange origin."

47 "Chariot" card

In the majestic palace above the gray fog, Klein, sitting at the head of the long bronze table, simply pointed out the special origin of this "Anduin".

Because he had decided to drag this young man into the gray fog, he must have found a way to trick him into joining the Tarot Club.

Whether it is out of concern for fellow villagers or curiosity about fellow travelers, this approach is very necessary.

In the subsequent Tarot meetings, Klein will definitely read Russell's diary frequently, so "Anduin" will also understand the fact that he can understand Russell's text.

In this way, it doesn't make much sense for Klein to cover up this. On the contrary, it will expose his guilty conscience.

So, he simply made this matter clear and straightforward, presenting himself as a mysterious being who was interested in time-travelers.

And it is very reasonable for such a person who can easily detect the mysterious existence of time travelers to have a very full understanding of the most famous time traveler, Russell.

Therefore, this makes it logical for Klein to understand Rosselvan.

He actually pointed out this matter directly... Arthur originally thought that Ke would let him join the Tarot Club first, and then slowly test it out in the days to come.

But unexpectedly, Klein unexpectedly told him about his special origin.

In this way, the pressure came to Arthur's side.

So, Arthur had to lower his head slightly and said nervously:

"Dear Mr. Fool, although I have had some special experiences, now I am just an ordinary extraordinary person."

He knew that Klein had the ability to observe other people's emotions above the gray fog, but he didn't pay too much attention.

Because for a time traveler, a lack of awe is actually a very normal thing.

This is also reflected in Mr. Ke in the original work. His behavior of pretending to be a fool shows that he does not respect the existence of gods as much as the aborigines here.

This situation is even more vivid in Russell. He can also be said to be a typical example of the mysterious world who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

What's more, as a Sequence Eight provocateur, Arthur actually has no good way to hide his true inner emotions.

Therefore, he didn't do much to hide his true emotions, he just did a superficial job and just meant it.

Do you think I will slice him up? Klein felt a little amused, but he felt that "Anduin" opposite him was not as nervous as he showed.

When he habitually observed the color of the other person's aura with his spiritual vision, he also found that the other person's emotions were more calm and excited, and not too nervous and fearful.

Did you just travel through time? Sure enough, unlike Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Miss "Justice", they don't have too much awe for mysterious existences.

In this case, it would not be easy to simply deceive him. I am afraid he would have to use inducement... Klein was making a small calculation in his mind.

"Haha, don't worry. I'm just a fool who likes equal exchange. I have no ill intentions towards you. You can use the knowledge you know to exchange with me what you want." Klein kept his posture unchanged and chuckled. He opened his mouth and said.

Of course, the premise is that you want to pray for my help to deal with it. If not, then naturally I can only pretend that I am not interested in your knowledge.

Thinking of this, Klein smiled in a relaxed tone:

"In addition, there are two people similar to you who were dragged here by me for various reasons."

"They hope that I can hold regular gatherings to trade formulas, buy and sell materials, exchange news, and delegate tasks."

"I promised them."

Arthur understood the implications of Mr. Ke's words, and this was exactly the purpose of his efforts to come here.

Therefore, he also asked cooperatively: "Dear Mr. Fool, can I also join this party?"

"Yes, at three o'clock every Monday afternoon, ensure that you are in an environment without interference."

Klein smiled and pointed at the playing cards that suddenly appeared on the surface of the long bronze table and said:

"They decided to use the names of Tarot cards as their respective code names. You can choose one by yourself. However, 'Justice' and 'The Hanged Man' already have owners and cannot be chosen."

If you join at this time, you can also choose your own cards, and after that, you can basically rely on blind draws.

"'Chariot', I choose the 'Chariot' card." Arthur, who had already thought about this problem, said.

In the Tarot, the "Chariot" card represents the King's chariot that overcomes obstacles and achieves victory. This goes well with his sequence and sounds very majestic.

Therefore, Arthur still likes this code name.

Of course, because he chooses the cards himself, he can actually choose cards like "Death", "Pope" or even "Emperor", which sound more powerful.

But because in the original work, each code name in the Tarot Society seems to have its own occult meaning.

Speaking of metaphysics, each code name has different luck, just like the names of gods in the world of "The Lord of the World".

For example, "The Hanged Man" implies sacrifice, so Alger was actually going to be stabbed.

It was only later that Squid arranged a side mission for him in the Western Continent, which allowed him to escape and avoid the fate of death.

In addition, other code names such as "Sun", "Justice", and "Hermit" actually have their own mystical meanings, or they can also be understood as the will of the squid.

And since you have come to this world, you must more or less follow the rules of this world. At least there is no harm in doing as the Romans do.

Therefore, Arthur did not dare to play any tricks in selecting cards, but honestly chose the "Chariot" card that matched his sequence.

Gee, I don't know if I will really be able to conquer the world after taking this code name... Arthur thought with some emotion.

Hmm, he looks a little excited. This guy doesn't have any fear at all... Klein used his spiritual vision to observe the color of the opponent's aura and found that there were red and yellow colors that represented excitement, but there were none at all. The color that represents fear.

After the opponent chose the "Chariot" card, Klein discovered that a strange symbol appeared on the back of "Anduin"'s chair.

It was a strange pattern formed by an orc skull and two crossed glaives.

This seems to be the Skull of Gul'dan and a pair of egg knives. How could his pattern be like this? It's a bit strange... Klein discerned the pattern on the back of Arthur's chair and felt a little surprised.

48 The "Eye" of Power

At night, Arthur went out to the restaurant to have dinner, and then returned to his room.

In the afternoon, he had successfully joined the Tarot Club and became a member of it, and also received the codename "Chariot".

Now, he is about to enter the trial illusion and undergo training as a demon hunter instructor.

After arriving at the Trial Illusion, the Demon Hunter instructor began training Arthur.

The main content of this stage of training is the use of strange weapons like war blades.

Before that, Arthur had always used the pair of new recruits' swords as decorations because he couldn't play with such strange-looking weapons.

As the saying goes, a stick in the moon is a sword in a lifetime, and a sword is always hidden.

The difficulty of using strange-shaped weapons like war blades is even higher than that of Chinese double-edged swords.

If you use this kind of weapon rashly when you have not practiced proficiently, let alone attack the enemy, it will be good if you don't scratch yourself.

Not to mention that there are still a pair of war blades here, so the difficulty of dual-wielding weapons is naturally even higher.

After a period of training, the instructor's figure disappeared, which meant that today's training was over.

Although Arthur was a little tired, he still stayed here and began to learn a new skill in warlock magic, "Demon Skin".

During this period, he has always turned on ghost vision. After all, he is blind here and can only rely on ghost vision to provide vision.

Because he couldn't control this ability well, he didn't dare to use it in the outside world, for fear of seeing something he shouldn't have seen.

As mentioned before, the ability of ghost vision not only allows Arthur to see the weaknesses of creatures, but also allows him to see the structure of objects.

Therefore, while Arthur was learning spells with the Skull of Gul'dan, he was trying to better master ghost vision.

Through ghost vision, Arthur looked at the structural lines on the surrounding objects, and a strange idea gradually came to his mind.

In his previous life, Arthur was very interested in Internet articles, and he had read a lot of Internet articles.

Among them, there was a book that brought him such a profound memory that he even wanted to send a razor blade to the author of that book.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is that in that book there is a girl who has the power of power. She can "see" the "eye" in the structure of all things.

This ability allows her to hit the "eyes" in objects with very little force, thereby easily destroying the target object.

And using this technique, she can even cause earthquakes.

Of course, Arthur didn't dare to ask for something like creating an earthquake.

But it's not like Arthur can't try to practice this technique of causing considerable damage with minimal effort by hitting the "eyes" in objects.

For him, ghost vision gives him the ability to see through the structure of objects, so Arthur can use this to try to find the "eye" in the object.

As soon as he thought of it, Arthur found a larger stone and started to play with opening bricks with his bare hands.

The most suitable method of attack is actually the Hidden Blade with the "sharpness" ability, but since outside objects cannot be brought in, Arthur now has no choice but to try it with his bare hands.

The attempts were mixed with success and failure, but it didn't matter because Arthur had determined that this was a viable technique.

So what's left is to gradually become familiar with and master your own abilities so that you can use this technique with ease.

…

The next morning, as soon as Arthur woke up from his trial dream, there was a knock on his door.

He got up, put on his coat, opened the door, and saw Frank standing outside the door.

Frank looked at Arthur, showed a hearty smile, and asked, "Hey, Arthur, how was your rest last night?"

"I feel okay. Are you here so early because of what happened yesterday?" Arthur rubbed his face to cheer himself up.

When Frank talked about business, he suddenly said with excitement:

"Yes, I thought about it all night yesterday and suddenly realized that I had too few crop seeds that could be used for experiments.

"So I came here today because the ship is not far from Bayam, and I plan to ask you to go buy some grain seeds together."

Arthur thought for a moment and then agreed. He went back to the room to get dressed, had a simple breakfast with Frank, and then went to talk to Cattleya.

The two then took a boat to Bayam.

The two of them came to the market and bought some common grain seeds in Bayam, and then prepared to return to the ship to start experiments.

On the way back, when passing by the bridge hole, Arthur saw a thin figure lying under the bridge hole from a distance.

He asked in confusion: "Why is there someone lying there in broad daylight?"

Frank followed his line of sight, squinted his eyes, and replied, "She is infected."

"What disease?"

"It's a disease that's hard to describe." Frank said in a low voice:

"At sea, many girls will be sold to the Red Theater after their families go bankrupt. Although the Emperor has invented condoms long ago, many pirates are unwilling to use them, which will eventually lead to such a tragedy."

The two of them said nothing and walked forward in silence.

Arthur kept looking at the thin figure lying down, and he didn't stop until the figure was about to leave his sight.

Frank also stopped, but he didn't speak, just silently observing Arthur's reaction.

After a moment of silence, Arthur asked, "Can this man be cured?"

"Yes, but you have to go back to the ship to get the medicine."

"Do you mind if I meddle in this?"

"No, I feel a lot more relieved."

"Oh why?"

Frank smiled and said, "Actually, when I listened to your impassioned speech yesterday, I actually suspected that you wanted to use those poor people to achieve some ulterior purpose.

"But in that moment, I was sure that you really wanted to help them."

Arthur looked Frank up and down and said, "I didn't expect that you, a pirate, would actually pity them. I thought you joined my plan just to make the whole world call your name."

Frank smiled heartily and said: "Haha, of course there are reasons for this, but in the end, how different is I, who was once an orphan, from them?

"I'm just lucky enough to be saved by the Mother Goddess Church, and I don't think I'm superior to them because of this."

His voice deepened and he said:

"When I heard you talking about the plight of those people yesterday, I felt a kind of sadness."

Arthur raised his legs and walked towards the bridge opening, and said softly: "This feeling is called the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox being sad. Things hurt their own kind."

Frank followed closely and asked: "This sentence is quite good. Was it invented by the Emperor?"

"Probably."

49 No tacit understanding

The two walked side by side towards the bridge opening, talking while walking.

"Although it is a good thing to have compassion, I have to remind you that this kind of thing is actually very common at sea. Temporary rescue cannot solve the underlying problem, and it may also be dangerous." Frank gave Arthur a warning. .

"I understand. There is a saying in my hometown that when you are in trouble, you only need to take care of yourself. Only when you are prosperous can you help the world.

"So, I don't think that I am a savior who can save everyone. This time I just had this idea because I happened to see it and you were with me.

"If I were alone, I would be unlikely to do such a thing." Arthur said in a calm voice.

He naturally knows that blind kindness will only bring him trouble, and as Frank said, temporary rescue cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Even in the world of his previous life, there were actually not many such things.

When Arthur saw this kind of thing in the media in his previous life, he felt sad for the poor people, but he never said that he wanted to be a messenger of justice and save all the suffering people.

Because he only had the ability to take care of himself at that time, as long as he didn't see it with his own eyes, Arthur could calmly pretend that he didn't know about it.

And now he has become a Sequence 8 Beyonder, and he also has Frank, a Sequence 6 biologist, by his side.

After seeing this kind of thing with his own eyes and getting Frank's approval, Arthur had room to display his kindness.

The two came to the lying girl. Frank first used his "physician" ability to give her a simple treatment, and then gently pushed her awake.

The girl struggled to sit up. She looked at the two burly men in front of her and asked with some fear:

"I'm sorry, sir, if I disturb you, I'll leave right away."

When she got up, she felt that the pain on her body seemed to have eased a lot, which made her feel a little happy.

This means you can try to find some simpler jobs and earn some money to fill your stomach.

"What's your name?" Arthur knelt down and looked at her levelly.

"Budi, sir, my name is Budi." She looked a little nervous and didn't understand what was going on.

Budi? Is it such a coincidence? Arthur looked at the girl in front of him.

This girl's body does not yet have the scars that Klein saw when he found her later, which shows that her illness is not too serious now.

At this time, Arthur suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he asked: "Budi, can you grow food?"

"I know a little bit, sir. I used to have a small piece of land at home. I helped my father farm the land when I was a child, so I know a little bit." Budi felt better and answered honestly.

"What happened next?" After Arthur asked, he realized that he had asked nonsense.

"Later, the land was taken away, and my father went to work in the mines. Later, there was a mining disaster... and I was sold to the Red Theater and became a legal prostitute."

Budi muttered softly, as if reminiscing.

"My family used to have a piece of land... I even worked on it... My father was still there at that time..."

Arthur pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"So, if we give you a piece of land and let you help take care of it, can you do it well? We can also cure your disease."

"Sir, is this true? I...I..." Budi's eyes brightened instantly and he said incoherently.

"Of course, we have a large area of ​​land that needs people to take care of. You can do this well, right?" Arthur asked with a gentle smile.

"Do we have land?" Frank asked, spoiling the atmosphere.

Arthur raised his head and looked at this person with whom he had no tacit understanding, and asked helplessly:

"Don't you notice any difference between what we are going to do this time and the experiments you have done before?"

"Uh... the difference is that if this thing is successful, will the whole world call my name?" Frank asked uncertainly.

Good guy, you just remember this when co-writing, right? Arthur was speechless.

He sighed and explained: "The difference is that this time, in terms of workload and scale, it far exceeds any of your previous experiments.

"Moreover, you also need to set up a control group and select superior varieties from generation to generation. It is simply impossible for a small laboratory to do these things."

He looked at Frank helplessly and asked, "Or do you plan to grow food directly on the deck of the Future?"

"That's not okay. If I dare to grow food on the deck of the Future, the captain will definitely throw me into the sea to feed the fish." Frank replied with a sneer.

Arthur ignored him and turned to Buddy and said, "We will have a piece of land soon. You just need to help us take care of it."

Budi agreed without hesitation because she had nothing to lose.

After Frank's simple treatment just now, her body had recovered somewhat, and she was at least able to walk on her own. She stood up and followed Arthur and Frank.

The three of them were walking back to the Future. Frank pondered for a while and said:

"I kind of understand what you mean, that is to say, we need a place as a permanent base."

Arthur nodded and said, "That's right, and it won't work in a place like Bayam."

"Why?" Frank asked doubtfully.

"This place is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Before you can grow food, the news has already spread all over the sky.

"You won't forget what happened during Emperor Russell's industrial movement, right?" Arthur replied calmly.

"Hey~ is it so serious?" Frank took a breath.

"Of course, it's impossible for those big landowners and grain merchants whose interests have been harmed not to react. In today's era, how can we create such a thing without bloodshed?" Arthur said indifferently.

"Then it seems we have to find a sparsely populated island." Frank thought for a while and asked:

"How is Bansi Island?"

"You really know how to choose." Arthur said speechlessly.

"Is there something wrong with this place? I've been there several times and haven't noticed anything unusual." Frank scratched his chin and said with some confusion.

"The mountains and rivers there are beautiful, and it's a good place for a cemetery. Anyway, just stay away from there." Arthur warned.

"Well, it seems we have to go back and discuss it with the captain. She knows more about the sea than I do." Frank shrugged.

50 Making a Sword

The three of them returned to the Future. Frank first went to his laboratory to prepare the medicine.

After Budi took the medicine, his illness quickly recovered.

In the original work, she was tortured by the disease for more than half a year before she was accidentally discovered by Klein.

But the tragedy is that when Klein found her, she had already died miserably from the pain.

Although Budi's current disease is very difficult for ordinary people, it is easy to solve for Frank, a "biologist".

Although this "biologist" is outside the mainstream, he wants to make big news from time to time.

Although Arthur also likes to make big news, he thinks that he still cannot reach Frank's level, where he can destroy the world with just an understatement.

After treating Budi's illness, Arthur took her to the ship's restaurant to eat some food.

After that, Frank arranged a room for her so that she could have a good rest. Then he and Arthur found "Star Admiral" Cattleya and told her exactly what happened today and their plans. she.

"I see. Are you looking for a more remote place to conduct experiments on high-yielding crops?"

Cattleya quickly understood what they meant. She looked at the map and thought for a while, then suggested several locations.

But several people discussed it and finally rejected those places one by one.

Because these places are either too close to the ruined sea, which is too dangerous; or they are on the main routes, with too many ships coming and going, and basically do not meet the requirements.

As a result, the three of them fell into trouble.

Because navigation technology has become more advanced now, pirates or merchant ships are basically found in places that are not too dangerous.

In places like the ruined sea area, the population is sparse, but it is also too dangerous and is not a good place to use as a base.

"Buy an island." Bernadette pushed open the door of the captain's cabin and walked in.

"Buy one?"

Is this the arrogance of the leader of a big force? Arthur was immediately stunned by Huang Beibei's speech.

"Well, buy an island near the Kingdom of Feneport. For safety issues, please directly contact the Church of the Mother Earth."

Bernadette said calmly: "I believe that for the sake of the rise of their own church, they will be very responsible and hide the island tightly."

...

Once the plan is agreed upon, there is no need to hesitate.

The Future immediately changed its itinerary and headed towards the Kingdom of Feneport.

And Arthur is also preparing to complete something that he has always wanted to do but was delayed.

That is, build yourself a melee weapon focused on confrontation.

Ever since he was knocked unconscious by a "warrior" when he last hunted the Blackwater Pirates, Arthur has been brooding about this.

It's not that he feels embarrassed because he can't defeat a warrior who has been humiliated all the time.

Arthur knew very well that in the middle and low sequences, the combat effectiveness of warriors was ranked among the best in all extraordinary paths. It was a normal thing to be defeated and there was no shame at all.

The main reason why he couldn't beat that fighter was that his physical fitness was not enough to allow him to fight against the opponent, and his fighting skills had not yet been developed.

Although the hunter's potion can increase physical fitness to a certain extent, it is not as good as a panel monster like a warrior.

I don't know why, but several hunters in the original work don't seem to have the habit of holding weapons.

For example, Meursault, the reckless hunter sent by Ambassador Beckland, did not bring any weapons except his blowgun when he assassinated Klein. As a result, he was able to kill Gou Sanjia in a sneak attack.

And just after Daniz separated from Klein, he was attacked by "Steel" Maiviti when he was heading to the Golden Dream stronghold. He was caught off guard and almost killed on the spot. He only managed to escape back to Klein with the help of magical items.

If Klein didn't have the ability to transfer injuries at that time, Danitz would definitely have died there.

So no matter what, Arthur really needs a melee weapon that can support him in direct confrontation with people.

Although the Hidden Blade is a melee weapon, it has more than enough stealth and dexterity, but lacks power.

This kind of weapon was not designed to attack people, but to assassinate enemies when they were unprepared.

Judging from the instructor's training for Arthur, dual-wielding violent combat is a very good development direction for him.

But for ordinary people, the price of an extraordinary weapon is unaffordable, let alone two weapons that can be matched.

So as a last resort, Arthur could only consider making a weapon and use it first.

As for dual wielding? That can only wait until later.

After recalling the weapons in his mind, and considering the role he was playing now, Arthur quickly thought of a weapon with a very unique shape, which was a legendary two-handed sword in World of Warcraft.

Of course, it's not the famous filial sword "Frostmourne", but the "Saramini", nicknamed the chopsticks.

It is composed of two one-handed swords and can be switched between two-handed sword form and one-handed sword form.

Of course, this switch is not arbitrary.

In the setting of World of Warcraft, only when the holder's belief and will reach a certain level can the sword be broken.

Usually at this time, the holder starts to fight hard.

Therefore, all those who had broken this sword died in the battle except Anduin.

This handsome two-handed sword was the relic that Varian left to his son Anduin after his death in battle.

Only Anduin was still alive and well after breaking the sword.

Arthur also planned to make this sword after playing Anduin out of some kind of awe for metaphysics.

In this way, he also wanted to try to take advantage of Anduin's luck as the protagonist.

After all, handsome people like them are usually the protagonists in stories.

In the story of Warcraft, this two-handed sword has also become Anduin's exclusive sword.

Later, after Anduin ascended the throne of High King, this sword became a symbol of royal power.

...

As a mysterious sailboat, the Future has basically all the facilities that can be used.

So after asking Cattleya, Arthur quickly found where the furnace on the ship was.

After handing the drawings he drew to the blacksmith, Arthur went back to wait for the birth of his weapon.

After he left, a figure appeared in front of the blacksmith.

"Queen of Mystery." The blacksmith bowed respectfully.

"I want to see the drawings he gave you." Bernadette said with a soft voice.
