Chapter 901 They Come from Earth
Seeing that even Klein, who had been promoted to a "Weird Mage" and was an expert in adjusting facial expressions, couldn't control his expression and was completely stunned, Angel, who knew the "truth" in advance, laughed triumphantly.
This made her almost forget the shock and dismay she expressed when she saw her own body lying on the modern street in the "City of Disaster", which was no less than Klein's.
"Earth……"
After a long silence, Klein murmured the word. His unfocused eyes gradually recovered and his gaze fell on Angel.
"Yes, the 'Earth' you understand... the Earth with seven continents, four oceans, the moon and the sun."
Without waiting for the other party to raise more questions, Angel carefully told Klein all the arguments she had thought about and verified, in addition to the details of her own body.
For example, the consistency of the year, month, and day with the Earth, the exaggerated but traceable changes in the terrain, the continued existence of the moon, the magnitude of gravity, and the changing seasons...
Before she finished speaking, Klein waved his hand to stop the "display" of these clues and fell into a long period of thought.
Angel knew that with his intelligence, he must have found more evidence from the various information and clues he had obtained in the previous year. He just couldn't accept the facts for the time being.
After all, the leap in space is far less than the change in time. If you come to another world, to a different planet, and there is a possibility of returning to your hometown, then the time span of thousands or tens of thousands of years is an insurmountable river, or as the person in her mirror said, it is a distance as wide as the "Pacific Ocean".
But this time, the two of them didn't even have a bathtub.
At that time, I directly digested the last bit of the "Despair" potion. Klein must have been hit just as hard, and it might even be more difficult for him to accept it than me. After all, the human society in my era was already rife with crises and could collapse at any time, while he came from the early 21st century, known as the "Golden Age"... Angel thought with some regret, reaching out and holding Klein's slightly cold hand on his knee, transferring his body temperature to him to warm him up.
Klein smiled back at her, but it looked quite forced.
"I'm fine, it's just... I was a little confused for a moment. It turns out that what I thought was 'travelling' was all an illusion, and the 'other world' I thought was Earth... Now that I think about it, while Russell's diary helped me understand mysticism and historical knowledge, it also misled me to some extent. I inherited his early speculations and fantasies, and without hesitation, I believed that this was the so-called 'other world'..."
Klein's tone was a little low, but not as lost as Angel had imagined.
"However, when I discovered those 'cocoons' and realized that I had been released and resurrected in the body of the dead, I had already prepared myself mentally. After all, Russell appeared 200 years earlier than me, which means I had been 'dead' for at least that much longer. At that time, I felt that I could no longer return to my hometown, but I had you, so I didn't fall into complete despair..."
As he spoke, Klein held Angel's hand with his backhand. The cold touch gradually warmed, making Angel feel relieved.
It turns out he'd experienced similar despair and loss as I had before... It was probably sometime after he was promoted to "Weird Mage." Arrodes had warned me then, and luckily I arrived at his side in time... Well, I also discovered the truth at the same time. My own corpse and the street where I died made me immediately understand that this was Earth, not another world. Klein didn't have these conditions, and was instead misled by Emperor Roselle...
Angel pondered and continued to check the information they knew with Klein, confirming the view that this world was "Earth". However, they did not come to a definite conclusion on the number of years between the two eras.
Fortunately, this is not important. Instead, Klein's original conclusion that Angel was one of his "roommates" was significantly wrong because of the presence of corpses in the City of Disaster. This resulted in the identity of one of the "travelers" still being a mystery.
In addition, the information Angel remembered when he was promoted to "Immortal", that is, the scene when he was resurrected in his current body with Adam and the Goddess of Night standing beside him, also made Klein frown and remain silent for a long time.
In contrast to his melancholy, Angel felt more like someone who was "debt-free." Ever since she was startled by the sudden appearance of Adam in Bayam, she had adopted a nonchalant attitude towards the "Angel King." Apart from occasionally using the "mirror world" to observe her surroundings and avoid the blond, white-robed priest squatting in the corner, she was no longer afraid of anything...
"At least I can confirm that when I woke up, nothing like this happened around me... even though we 'awoke' on the same day, and were less than a kilometer apart. I'm afraid their concern is related to the 'City of Disaster'... I'll try to investigate."
After a long moment, Klein whispered, and the aura that seemed to have made a decision made Angel smile with relief.
After the joy of meeting fellow villagers and analyzing their current situation, the two discussed what to do next.
After all, knowing the truth behind their "time travel" wouldn't solve their current problems. The conspiracy of King George III and the royal family loomed large. Even if they didn't avenge the innocent victims, the "Black Emperor" wouldn't let go of these minions who had repeatedly obstructed his plans after ascending to the throne. Even for their own sake, Angel and Klein had to find ways to thwart the king's plans.
This time, when they entered Groselle's Travels, they obtained a lot of useful information, but it was not very useful for the current situation. The only thing that was of some use was that "Pallez Zoroast had a good reputation." Perhaps they could use certain conditions to persuade this archangel, who had absorbed the extraordinary characteristics of Amon's clone and restored some of his strength, to join their plan.
As for the disputes among the ancient gods in the Second Age, the rise and fall of the ancient sun god, and the "Dragon of Imagination"'s plans spanning thousands of years, they seemed to have little impact on George III.
"Can we use the conflicts caused by the proximity of the divine paths to reduce the support George III receives?"
Angel said carefully.
In the history of the Fourth Epoch as narrated by Mobet, the two knew that "Night, Death and War" and "Storm, Sun and Wisdom" were two groups of pathways that could jump to each other. Judging from the gods' stances and hostile attitudes in the Fourth Epoch, as well as the interest of the Goddess of Night in the "uniqueness" of Death, even if they became true gods, there would still be conflicts of interest between different gods in the same "group"!
"Even if such a conflict were to occur, it's not something we two demigods can instigate or participate in..." Klein shook his head, rejecting this approach. "Of course, the Primordial Witch, whose current attitude is ambiguous, might become a divine aid. Unfortunately, her condition has been poor since the end of the Fourth Epoch. I'm afraid she can't even stand up to a true god. She can only provide angelic assistance, such as divine descent..."
The two of them thought of Triss, who was still hiding in Backlund, and their expressions varied.
In addition to trying to contact potential allies, Angel and Klein also planned to improve their own sequences as quickly as possible to enhance their strength.
Klein has already been using "teleportation" to create terrifying stories around the world as a way of portraying the "trickster." However, due to his reluctance to display destructive power, the progress of this role-playing is quite slow. It is expected that he will not be able to reach Sequence 3 until the end of the year or even early next year.
Fortunately, as a remnant of the ancient times who had been suspended in the "cocoon" for thousands of years, Klein, like Angel, naturally completed the promotion ceremony of "Ancient Scholar". As long as he completed the digestion and gathered the potion materials, he could be promoted at any time.
Angel also had some ideas about how to play the role of "immortality". She had already exceeded the first half of the concept of "immortality", and the second half required her to summarize the corresponding methods in order to digest the corresponding potion.
"Counting the death in the last era, I've experienced three 'resurrections after death'. Logically, I should have had a considerable degree of pre-acting. One of them was when I died in front of the goddess' divine vessel, but it didn't show up in the potion's digestion progress... I'm afraid I need a real 'resurrection' in front of those who know I've died to complete the feedback loop..."
She analyzed with a frown.
"Let you debut as Angel in front of Melissa and Benson?"
Klein joked, but was immediately met with a roll of the eyes and a retort from Angel:
"That would put them in danger... But we can use this idea. Who knows that Angel Granger and Erin Watson are dead? I can try to reappear in front of them..."
The two discussed it for a long time but could not find a definite solution, so they had to put it on hold for the time being.
Finally, Angel proposed handing over the Darkless Cross to Mr. Sun in exchange for another more suitable seal of the same rank, and prepared to hand it over to Klein, who did not have the right equipment, to help him complete the role-playing and digestion.
The cross itself has sufficient status, but firstly, there is a concern about being tracked by Adam, and secondly, its radiance and purification abilities are inherently contrary to the "weird story," making it of little use. It would be better to let the "Sun" search Silver City for a seal suitable for Klein.
Klein knew this was not the time to refuse, so he agreed.
…
After seeing off the "weird wizard" who was full of worries and had no intention of staying overnight, Angel sat back on the single sofa shrouded in red moonlight, looking at the moon outside the window, which might have been silvery-white thousands of years ago, and fell into silence.
But the corners of her mouth that were raised or pursed from time to time, and her squinting eyes, revealed the drastic changes in her inner emotions.
"...No wonder his pseudonyms are Sherlock Moriarty and Sparrow...and Dantes. I thought he was drawing inspiration from Emperor Roselle's work, but it turns out to be from an even more distant past...
"...He and I came into this world on the same day, which means the first person I saw was the current Klein, not another one... But what about Melissa and Benson? They definitely don't know about this. He's a relative who has been with them for twenty years...
"...He's the only person in the world who understands Chinese now... Should I ask him to teach me the language..."
As she murmured in a gradually lowered tone, a ball of black fur emerged from the void in the corner of the room. Wensa looked at the witch on the single sofa with her azure eyes, shook her head, threw down a letter, and left quickly.
