This shows that the Edward Kelly who appears in front of him, eager to kill someone, not only comes from the timeline of later generations, but also continues the plot inertia under certain circumstances.
Otherwise, it is probably impossible to snatch away the guardian spirit of William Adams, the protagonist of the first generation... It is only close to fifty years. Could it be that the butterfly effect caused is not enough to completely impact the original destiny trajectory? Some key nodes will still
It happens as a matter of course?
Gu Mo thought for a moment and shook his head gently.
It’s not completely incomprehensible. After all, his original idea was to take over the East Asian world first, build and develop the Chinese cultural circle in Southeast Asia as the center, and then strive to completely integrate resources, prosper and unify, and then rush to the
Before the end of the 16th century, the space project was launched...
Asia is actually very large. If you try to eat the entire planet in one go, you will only be biting off more than you can chew, which may not be of much help. Instead, it will only seriously distract your energy and prevent you from establishing an effective management system.
.So it is better to build the basic base and then free up your hands to focus on other areas.
Anyway, as long as Asia builds the necessary technological and industrial foundation and develops into the early space age, prosperous cities and huge industrial bases will spread all over the land... At that time, it will not be like me to beat my son when I go back to clean up other places in the world.
Easily?
And if he proceeds according to his blueprint, then fifty years later——
The Western world should be...probably still at the end of the era of great geographical discoveries and great voyages?
Due to the poor and backward transportation and communication in this era, and the relative isolation between the various continents, even if the cheating in the Eastern world has a certain impact and impact, it will be relatively limited, and generally it will not completely destroy their original features.
system.
If the impact is not great, then the Western world has not experienced too many impacts and can generally develop according to the original situation...
Then it seems understandable that William Adams was arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London. He was eventually discovered by Edward Kelly and took away the guardian spirit Sesha.
"Given immortality..."
After pondering for a moment, Gu Mo couldn't help but wonder as he recalled the special abilities of the mermaid elves. Could the "cloning technique" of this group of alchemists be the result of research on this guardian spirit?
After all, the protagonist of the first generation relied on the power of this guardian spirit to change his job and become an immortal. Otherwise, how would he have the capital to slay ghosts in the Warring States Period when demons were dancing around and hundreds of ghosts were walking at night.
He cleaned up the secret cave, and after some inspection, he found that there was a secret chamber deep down, which was well hidden through the alchemy array and the power of spiritual stones. The inside was the same as the outside, with many huge
The glass jar is like a giant test tube.
They are generally two meters high. The transparent glass is filled with golden liquid. It does not appear turbid, but is as clear and pure as golden wheat ears. It has the same color as normal spiritual stone essence, giving people
A touch of sacredness full of vitality.
The base of the giant test tube seems to be made of some kind of brass material. Judging from the reaction fluctuations of energy dissipation, its internal essence should be an alchemical device that can utilize the power of spiritual stones.
And inside the test tube, without exception, there are cloned bodies floating one after another, with their eyes closed. Some are Edward Kelly's bald head, and some are other people... It is obvious that this is where they set up in secret.
A "resurrection point".
Once something unexpected happens and the current body cannot be saved, the consciousness will be transferred to a new backup, the new body will be activated, and the body will come back to life and resume action from here.
——Generally speaking, they are still a group of guys who cherish their lives...
Although perhaps in their view, this operation is actually a matter of catching a turtle in a urn. If you can catch it easily, there is no risk at all, right? At most, under the enemy's fierce counterattack and desperate struggle, some unavoidable consequences may occur.
Casualties, but that's all...
But he didn’t expect to hit the steel plate with his head——
The enemy they want to hunt happens to be a strong person who has advanced in the spiritual system. Not only can they directly destroy the group and hit GG, they can't even use the resurrection method that they carefully prepared in advance. After all, only if the consciousness can be successfully transferred can one be immortal.
The premise is that if the soul cannot escape, there is no point in backing up more bodies.
He originally wanted to use a mind blast to destroy all the alchemy devices in the cave and bury these unconscious clones in the collapse of the rocks. After thinking about it, Gu Mo gave up this idea.
Let's study it for now. After all, it involves very interesting technology.
From this we can see the experience of these rebellious officials and traitors, which should be of some help.
After cleaning the cave and making sure that no details were missed, the next step was the pleasant unpacking time. Gu Mo burned incense and washed his hands in a ritualistic manner. If the occasion was not right, he didn't mind taking a shower and changing clothes. He finally
It's this kind of part that I like.
No matter how strong Edward Kelly is, that doesn't mean he is a low-level wild monster and has no value.
In fact, as an important villain who ran through the main plot of the generation and planned many conspiracies, his weight is probably very close to the positioning of the final BOSS. So just now, he foiled the plan of this group of alchemists and killed them all in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, the reward at the end of the scene was a golden key.
Just enough to make up for the previous purchase of the complete magic ship knowledge craft about Netheril.
Gu Mo opened the list of loot that dropped the light spots and took a look. His eyes immediately looked at the loot arranged in the first frame. The border of the inventory grid flashed with pure and bright gold, showing its quality.
Rank, and the name below shows——
"Guardian Spirit·Ouroboros"...
The expected result was that the big snake that had just left due to the death of its host was drawn out by him again. If it had real intellectual wisdom, it would probably be confused.
Gu Mo was not surprised by this. He only had a feeling in his heart that it was indeed the case. Although this was the first time he had killed an enemy with a guardian spirit and the first time he had revealed a guardian spirit as a trophy, he had vaguely noticed it beforehand.
So, this may be a huge closed loop of cause and effect...
Although I am a visitor from another world, I have already participated in the process of history and entered this closed loop. I am even the main creator of the closed loop. Therefore, I was aware of this possibility in advance and naturally I will not be surprised anymore.
Already.
"Time is really the greatest power..."
Sighing softly, he squinted his eyes to carefully observe the attributes of this guardian spirit. As a guardian spirit, one of the passives of Ouroboros is naturally "divine protection", which can bring powerful permanent protection and special effects to the host.
The blessing of ability.
It's just that it's quite special. It doesn't bring about attribute resistance or attribute damage enhancement, but it balances the forces of various opposites so that they don't conflict with each other... According to the system's notes, Gu Mo almost came to the rescue.
I thought I got the Tiger Talisman.
In addition, this guardian spirit also has a special ability, which is the ability to steal other people's guardian spirits.
Gu Mo thought about it seriously. The concept of ouroboros has long been said to symbolize "infinity" or "everything". In ancient impressions, it has the meaning of "self-destruction" and "transformation into a cyclic pattern".
Symbolizes a principle that exists through conflict with opposites, capable of both unifying and assimilating opposites.
When I think about it this way, I seem to be able to understand its capabilities.
After receiving the trophy, a huge red snake emerged from the air, its fine scales flashing with cold beauty. It circled around Gu Mo's body, spitting out letters, and then gently bit its own tail, moving quickly
Fades and disappears, no longer manifests itself.
Feeling the wonderful power it brought, Gu Mo thoughtfully continued to examine the other remaining trophies.
There is only one gold-level trophy.
There is no sign of the mermaid elf Sesha.
Is this not revealed, or is it because... the root of this guardian spirit is actually still with William Adams. Although the evil bald head used ouroboros to imprison her, he failed to completely turn her into his own?
Gu Mo thinks it should be the latter.
This is a bit of a pity.
The remaining trophies are not bad. In addition to a bunch of miscellaneous spiritual stones, there are also skill badges about several skills - "Alchemy", "Clone Reincarnation", "Consciousness Transfer"... and so on.
, all shimmering with silvery light of different shades of color, either faintly glowing or sparkling.
One even has a hint of light gold, which seems to indicate that its quality is close to gold level.
…………
…
The other side.
After dealing with the last possessed object and completely settling the matter, Gu Mo regained his physical form in the wasteland where corpses were strewn all over the place.
Combined with the memory extraction of the possessed woman in black robe, some information revealed by the "rare person" Minamoto Yoshitsune encountered, and the considerations for this attack...
Gu Mo roughly clarified the situation and had a more general understanding of the future situation——
This group of alchemists belonged to a resistance association called "Queen's Eye" in later generations. The organization's program was to correct the trajectory of history and bring everything back to the right track. It seemed that their founders were special and did not know
Is it because of the guardian spirit or something else that I noticed the change in the world line.
It was discovered that in the original world line, the next step was supposed to be their golden age in England...
They were supposed to rule the whole world, seize hegemony on sea and land, and become the most extensive colonial empire that has ever existed in the world. They were supposed to conquer all races and let people of different races from all over the world contribute their blood and sweat to them...
At that time, the English flag will be seen flying everywhere in the world, and the sun will be able to shine on their territory at any time, because England in its heyday covered all time zones, and the glory of the sun that never sets should have been
Such brilliance and splendor...
——However, due to the changes in the world line, all of this has become a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
——The "Queen's Eye" was established precisely because it could not accept all of this.
They desperately want to resist the changed world, claiming to overthrow the evil rule that smashes and blasphemes the will of God, to return history to its proper trajectory, and to restore the "correct world" to what it should be.
emmmmm... So, this is a story about taking back the future?
It's a pity that their organization is not called "Chaldea".
