The first person Klein suspected was undoubtedly the Elf King Sonyathorem.
This ancient god invented chopsticks, knew how to make "blood soup", liked to eat animal offal, and was very good at using spices. The contours, hair color, and eyes of the majority of his descendants were similar to those of Asians on Earth. Not only did Klein once suspect that he was a time traveler, but Emperor Roselle also had the same feeling.
Of course, after further investigation, Russell initially ruled out such speculation from the perspectives of linguistics, symbol inheritance, folk proverbs, etc. Klein believed that tableware such as chopsticks, the love of eating offal, and the introduction of spices were not exclusive characteristics. For a race close to nature, these were likely to gradually appear in daily life!
As for why the elves who mastered the "Sailor" path were a race close to nature, Klein didn't know the reason. He could only say that the murals and texts they left behind described them that way.
"I once thought it was unlikely that the Elf King was a time traveler, but after seeing three broken 'cocoons', I'm not so sure anymore... Maybe he really is a 'fellow countryman'... Well, it is possible that this ancient god himself is not a time traveler, but a high-level elf around him. This can also allow the custom to be passed down in the name of the Elf King..." Klein muttered to himself silently as he moved his fingers.
Almost at the same time, he had a direction to investigate and confirm:
In "Groselle's Travels", there is an elf singer named Siatas who served Queen Soniatholem, also known as the "Queen of Disaster" Cosinamu!
As long as one can enter her collective subconscious ocean, he should be able to see or touch memory fragments related to the elves and the ancient gods!
I can also use "hypnosis" and other methods to let her subconscious mind speak directly... The problem now is that I am not good at these things. The last time I tried to go deep into Groselle's subconscious mind, I was restless and had difficulty calming down. Although I am now a demigod, I need to fight more and more madness and loss of control, and my mental state cannot be completely adjusted for a long time... Forced spiritual communication is not suitable for such a situation, such an object... Klein frowned slightly, thinking that he might need a magical item with a higher level of "audience" path, or an assistant who is at least a "hypnotist".
He began to seriously consider the feasibility of inviting Miss Justice to help:
"There is no problem with the operation. Entering the gray fog as a spirit body will not prevent you from leaving...
"There's no need to worry about Miss Justice finding out about the secret of the time traveler. As long as Siatas herself doesn't have this knowledge, her subconscious and collective subconscious won't point to similar conclusions. I can find the clues I want from the details that they don't care about...
"The biggest problem is that Miss Justice has no adventure experience and lacks sufficient experience. It is very dangerous for her to explore the subconscious ocean of ancient people. She may encounter the afterimages of ancient gods at any time... Once the help of the Psychologist is gone, the same will happen to me...
"Even if we want to seek assistance from Miss Justice, we have to wait until she reaches Sequence 5. We can use the level increase to make up for the lack of experience. When the time comes, we will try to hypnotize Siatas first to see what we can learn from her. If we don't get any valuable information, we can consider entering the dream world, going deeper into consciousness, and stepping into that 'ocean'.
"Oh, right, the 'Dream Spell' I made now is not powerful enough. I'm afraid it will be difficult to sustain the exploration for that long. Alas, the goddess will not respond directly to such trivial matters. She will give fixed feedback according to fixed rituals... The corresponding Beyonder characteristics have all been returned to the church... Do I have to let Leonard come with me? I wonder if this kind of spiritual level pulling people can avoid the attention of the grandfather in his body. I will study it in the next few days..."
Klein withdrew his thoughts and considered the second suspect.
This person seemed normal, and he had never thought of him as a time traveler. But when he calmed down and sorted things out and examined them from the beginning, Klein found that many of the things he had considered common sense in the past were not so simple upon closer thought, and contained unspeakable horrors.
He suspected:
The ancient sun god, the creator of Silver City!
“The scriptures of the seven major churches each have the shadow of Earth’s Western religions... the same is true of their mass rituals!
"According to the description of the little 'sun', what Emperor Roselle saw in the small church in Adam, and the contents of the murals on the ruins of the God-Forsaken Land, it is clear that the main symbolic element of the ancient sun god is the cross!
“Name your children Adam and Amon…
"The angels under their seats all have wings of light. As for those with other forms, at least I haven't seen any yet...
"I don't know where he rose from, but he suddenly appeared in the late Second Era, killed many ancient gods, and took back many powers...
"I didn't think these details were anything important before, but now I think about them carefully and they are terrifying." Klein hissed and actually thought that the ancient sun god was more suspicious than the elf king Soniatholem.
The other party's experience is so legendary that he is more like the protagonist of the era than Emperor Roselle!
Of course, his ending was also quite tragic. He was treated as a feast by the angel kings around the throne and was eaten up. No matter how miserable Emperor Roselle was in the end, it could not be this tragic.
“Does this explain Amon and Adam’s attitudes from another perspective? They both believe that the gray fog is related to their fathers, but because of their different paths, they have different choices? Well, there is a certain probability that Adam cannot see the gray fog. He is not a high-sequence expert of the four paths of ‘Destiny’, ‘Thief’, ‘Fortune Teller’, and ‘Apprentice’…” Klein nodded slightly.
Based on these clues, he also has an investigation direction that does not require contacting angel-level bigwigs:
In "Groselle's Travels", there lived a monk named Snowman who survived the Third Age and served the ancient sun god!
"The question is back to what happened just now... There is nothing else that is worthy of suspicion for the time being." Klein exhaled slowly, stretched out his right hand, and picked up the newly acquired "Card of Blasphemy":
"Red Priest" card!
As the spiritual energy was infused, the card emitted scarlet rays of light, constructing a palm-sized illusory book.
Turning the pages of the book, vivid and colorful portraits of Roselle Gustav appeared one after another. He was either wearing a hunter's outfit, or raising his middle finger, or walking between burning buildings, or standing behind a trap. He had all kinds of clothes and was doing all kinds of things.
“Sequence 9: Hunter… Sequence 8: Provocateur… Sequence 7: Arsonist… Sequence 6: Conspirator… Sequence 5: Reaper… Sequence 4: Iron Knight… Sequence 3: War Bishop… Sequence 2: Weather Warlock… Sequence 1: Conqueror… Sequence 0: Red Priest…” Klein’s eyes swept over the tarot-card-sized portraits one by one, imprinting the contents on them in his mind.
He was not surprised by the Sequence 0 deification ceremony of this path. He had even expected it, because Hermes once told Roselle that the "red" in "Red Priest" refers to the red of war.
Therefore, when he saw "starting a war that swept across the continent and gaining enough victory", Klein felt no ripple in his heart.
After covering the "Red Priest" card, he concentrated on thinking about the problem, and his mental state improved to a certain extent. He rubbed his forehead and finally felt tired.
"Let's set a short-term goal first. Find out who is behind the Backlund smog incident. This is something that has not been completed before. Well, continue the arms deal according to the predetermined plan, and return to Backlund after getting the money. Now there are two clues. One is the chief of the palace guards, Viscount Stratford, and the other is Major General Qiunas Kilger, the deputy director of the 9th Military Intelligence Department..." Klein forced himself to cheer up and planned to find something to do first.
Before leaving the gray fog, he threw the psychological potion formula given by Miss Justice into the crimson star that symbolized Emlyn, the Moon, and asked the vampire who was good at mixing potions to prepare a week's supply for the World at a price of 1 pound per bottle.
…………
Backlund, in the villa of the Audra family.
Emlyn White, who was waiting in the living room, curled his lips and muttered in his heart:
"It's only worth 7 pounds, I really don't want to take it... 'World', if you're careful, you can mix it yourself."
He did not object to the World's request, because he had just spent 5,000 pounds to buy the Sequence 5 artificial vampire Beyonder characteristic, and he only had 730 pounds in cash left.
Just then, Casimi, a middle-aged gentleman, walked in.
After they exchanged greetings, the blood clan baron asked:
"Emlyn, what's the matter with you coming here so suddenly?"
Emlyn suddenly felt a little guilty, and then he remembered his previous experiences and the words of The Hanged Man and The World. He raised his chin slightly and answered casually:
"I have obtained a Sequence 5 'Crimson Scholar' Beyonder characteristic. I wonder when I can start the ceremony to become a Viscount?"
Casimi was stunned for a moment, and asked in astonishment:
"You have gained a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Crimson Scholar'?"
Emlyn glanced at him, nodded with a subtle smile, and said:
"right."
He did not explain how he acquired the Beyonder characteristics, and acted as if “you don’t need to understand”.
Casimi opened his mouth and fell silent. After several seconds, he said:
"Wait until the next full moon."
He paused, then said:
"I just happened to have something to ask you.
"My grandfather asked me to tell you that a big shot will come to Backlund soon and wants to meet you."
? Emlyn's pupils dilated instantly.
Considering the antiquity of the blood race that has continued from the Second Age to the present, even with the addition of a "0" level seal, the number of big figures at the angel level will not exceed five fingers!
ps: The title of the book is "I Add a Point to Everything". The male protagonist gets a point adding system. The points added are very strange and interesting. He adds points to a pillow and gets a pillow that thinks it is a dog. He adds points to a swimming pool and gets a pool god that can randomly exchange items. He adds points to a pen and gets a 2b pencil that can only get 0 points. Anyway, they are all weird and interesting superpowers and items.
