Just like the other vendors near the pier, even though this man boasted a lot.
However, not many people believed or bought it. The surrounding onlookers simply ignored him and walked past the man without even stopping, without any hesitation.
Of course, this is a normal development.
On this waterway to the Southern Continent, which was mainly initiated, explored, and opened up by Russell, it is inevitable that such characteristic industries will be spawned. Every year, a large number of undisclosed "Russell inventions" will appear inexplicably.
, the unknown "Russell relics" often number in the tens of thousands, like dog urine after the rain, they always appear in unnoticed places...
One can't help but wonder whether Emperor Russell ordered his fleet to open up a new channel...
Or did he order his fleet to take out the garbage?
——Otherwise, how can we explain this situation?
Probably only some tourists from out of town will selectively purchase some of these specialty products.
And they are not unaware of the situation. Of course, they don't expect to be able to find out. They hope that they will be lucky enough to buy Russell's undisclosed inventions, manuscripts containing secrets, etc... Most people
I guess they just came here with the intention of buying some souvenirs and experiencing the local customs.
Bernadette naturally knew about this kind of thing, and had long been used to it.
The reason why she felt a little displeased was because other people were using tiger skin as a banner, bragging about Emperor Russell, and not knowing how much they admired and admired him. Although the main purpose was to
Emperor Russell's image has been infinitely elevated to increase the persuasiveness of his false propaganda and the attractiveness of the fakes he sells——
But at least the appearance is impeccable, and this person is...
Although Bernadette couldn't get the point of "increasing wisdom", she was undoubtedly aware of the other party's subtle malice towards Emperor Russell.
"..."
"..."
There was a moment of silence, but she frowned but didn't say or do anything.
Although she felt a little unhappy about this, the famous Mysterious Queen would not be serious about it with an ordinary person... After all, she actually knew very well about her father's reputation. In fact, Emperor Russell himself was a controversial figure.
He is a character who has mixed praise and praise, which can be said at best. There are many people who admire him, and there are also countless people who hate him.
Leading the industrial revolution and creating the era of steam and machinery.
——What follows is the proliferation of oppression, exploitation, poverty, and pollution...
As for exploring the waterways of the southern continent and opening up the colonial era.
——For the colonized party, what does this historical event worth remembering mean...
It is now 1349, and only one hundred and fifty-one years have passed since Russell's death in 1198. And the colonial era he started with his own hands has not ended yet. Just nine years ago, Russell
The Kingdom of En and the Feysac Empire clashed on the east coast of Balam due to disputes over colonial interests. Loen lost the war and was under great pressure.
This is not history that can be written lightly. People living in the present can still feel the tense situation and smell the lingering smell of bloodshed...
So, that's basically it. After all, Russell is not a gold pound, and it is impossible for everyone to like him.
Even Bernadette, his daughter, can't accept some of the things he has done. How can we expect other people to accept everything without any grudges?
This is naturally very unrealistic.
Although it was a temporary idea to come to this port city to have a look, Bernadette suddenly lost interest after encountering such a situation. She had just stepped onto the pier and turned around to leave, going back to "
Get on board the Dawn.
——"Come, come, let's take a look at this, the diary of Emperor Russell..."
——"Yes, Emperor Russell left a diary, but you don't know it..."
——"No, no, no, this is not a cipher text. I have completely deciphered the emperor's secret!"
Lang Yue's voice came from the crowd behind him. It still sounded like he was boasting, and the topic he talked about suddenly became very sensitive, or very targeted.
If everything up to this point is not enough to move the Queen of Mystery.
Then next——
"This is not a mysterious symbol used for encryption, but a strange character that none of you know or understand... Let me give you an example, just like these two characters, they read "hometown"..."
The Chinese pronunciation of the word Zhengyuan.
"…!
"
Bernadette's steps suddenly stopped. She felt as if she had been struck by thunder, and her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
It took a rare breath for the mysterious queen to finally realize what she had heard. She barely had time to think seriously before her body started to act faster than the instructions from her brain.
When she realized it, she found that she had turned around and walked through the crowd without anyone noticing.
She grabbed the young man's wrist, like a drowning person who had lost hope, grabbing the last straw and refusing to let go. Her eyes were firmly fixed on the other person's expression, and her tone could not suppress her excitement: "You
How do you know this word! Where did you hear it! When! Who told you! Why should I tell you!"
A series of questions burst out like a barrage of questions.
The man glanced at her, puffed up his chest proudly, and said matter-of-factly: "Who told me that? Didn't I say it? I deciphered it myself..."
"Did you decipher it? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
In her desperation, the Queen of Mystery subconsciously raised her voice several decibels, and her tone unconsciously carried a bit of majesty. It was obvious that she could not believe such a ridiculous statement, and she was so excited that she wanted to know the answer right away.
So she felt a little bit out of place. But considering that this was her obsession that she had been pursuing for hundreds of years, it was understandable.
At this moment, Bernadette was so excited that her body was trembling slightly unnoticeably, her heart was beating fast, and she even almost doubted whether she had heard wrong just now.
Is it a hallucination? Is it a dream interfered by the 0-05 wishing lamp? After all, the "djinn" will indeed lure the owner to rub the lamp and make a wish through dreams and hallucinations. This is something she has personally experienced.
Is it no wonder that she has such random thoughts and has been searching for the dawn of hope for many years to no avail? The hope that she seems to be unable to find no matter what, suddenly appears in front of her when she is completely unprepared?
This is somewhat unreal.
"..."
"..."
"Ahem, okay, actually I can't be considered the one who deciphered it..."
Probably because of Bernadette's direct denial and the intense stare with her oppressive eyes, the man changed his words with some guilt.
He coughed a few times unnaturally, and instead of looking at her, he looked elsewhere and changed the topic: "After all, there is really no need to decipher it. I only need to take a look at those diaries and I will naturally know that they are
What does it mean? There is no need to waste time trying to decipher it..."
Bernadette: “???”
Faced with such a sudden turn of events without warning, the Queen of Mystery couldn't think straight for a while, and her blue eyes widened even further.
After she came back to her senses, her first reaction was to almost laugh out of anger.
"You said you would know what it meant just by taking one look at it?"
"That's not..."
The young man's face was not red and he was out of breath. As he spoke, he reached out and patted his chest, with an expression worthy of me.
Not to mention that he already knew Chinese very well. Even if he didn't know it at all, with the support of the system's passive translation function, he could still read and understand the unfamiliar text he saw for the first time without any obstacles.
If you have any questions... From this point of view, he is not lying at all. No matter how you interpret this sentence, it is the real truth.
"Then tell me, that word you just said...what does it mean?"
Bernadette took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down as much as possible. She quickly isolated herself from information interaction with the surrounding environment, making the area she was in feel like an independent space.
At the same time, his eyes were staring closely at the person opposite him, and his eyes suddenly became extremely dark.
Even though the hidden "Eye of Secrets" has already been observing the target, spying on the status of its astral body, etheric body and mental body, examining various details of the astral body, and getting all normal feedback,
But at this moment, she still carefully chose to use higher-level sequence capabilities to further ensure that there would be no problems.
There is indeed no problem.
No matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary person.
But the other party actually knew the diary left by his father and also knew the pronunciation of the word "hometown". This is absolutely abnormal!
"Oh, you said "hometown", this word is very simple..."
The man seemed completely unaware that he was being watched, and just explained seriously, "It means the hometown where you were born, and where your soul belongs."
Bernadette's heart suddenly jumped. When she heard those two weird pronunciations again, she confirmed that she had not heard them wrong just now. When she heard the explanation given by the other party, she was even more stunned.
Hometown of birth...
The belonging of the soul...
Could this be what he meant? Could it be that the sadness and melancholy that my father showed occasionally later on could be because of this? Was he homesick?
But...but...this doesn't make sense at all! My father was born as an Intis. His hometown has always been there. He can return to the Gustav family's territory at any time. He even got the entire country later.
What kind of nostalgia is there?! - Too many doubts came to mind at once, and Bernadette felt that this was the only one she couldn't understand at all.
She thought for a moment, then subconsciously stared at the other side with suspicious eyes, suspecting that it was the translator's problem.
I have to say that this is very realistic and normal.
——If some mysterious master above the gray fog, the powerful Mr. Fool, gives a similar explanation, then even if she has doubts, she will only think that there is something in it that she still doesn’t understand.
…
——However, when she preconceptionally thinks that the person opposite is an ordinary person, it is naturally a different situation...
The only possibility is that the other party explained it wrong and didn't say the true meaning at all, right? Maybe it's because he doesn't know the true meaning of the word? But it's already amazing to know the pronunciation of those two words.
Progress has been made. As long as you figure out where you heard about this person, you may be able to grab the next clue...
Many thoughts flashed through Bernadette's mind in an instant, and her eyes became a little complicated. She had already realized one thing, that is, this was definitely not a coincidence.
It happens to be myself...
He happens to be his father...
It happens to be the clue that I have been pursuing...
This person appeared here, carrying key information, and he discovered it just right. Even if he acted like an ordinary person, she didn't think there was no plan for her. It was probably someone behind the scenes.
A chess piece... However, she admitted that she was indeed about to bite the hook and could not resist the bait thrown by the opponent.
Because this is probably the only chance for him to unlock the secret and know the ominous truth about his father's later years.
No matter what, Bernadette would never allow this opportunity to slip away from her eyes.
"If... I mean if, I want to get other... diary information, what will I have to pay?" After considering such probing words, the Mysterious Queen narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she was determined to take risks, she
Nor did he relax his due vigilance and vigilance.
"It depends on which part you want..." The young man smiled shyly, stretched out a finger to scratch his cheek, and said.
"I want them all!"
Bernadette said coldly, interrupting his words.
"Wow, this is really ambitious..." The young man showed a surprised expression in approval. He raised his hands and applauded, tut-tutting, "But the price may be a bit expensive, you may not be able to afford it.
rise……"
"You didn't tell me, how do you know I can't afford it?"
Bernadette frowned slightly. She looked at the other party's clapping movements, and for some reason she suddenly felt a sense of dissonance, as if something was not quite right.
Wait! Shouldn’t normal people only have two hands?
A flash of lightning suddenly exploded in her mind, and her vagina shrank obviously. She grabbed one of the man's hands. Why could he clap with both hands so naturally?!
Looking down subconsciously, she found that what she was holding tightly in her hand was a smooth stone, or a stone seal.
A mysterious symbol was poured into the stone. This unknown talisman seemed to contain some extraordinary mystery, which was completely incomprehensible to mortals. But Bernadette felt that it looked familiar, and after thinking about it for a moment, she remembered that this seemed to be her father as the ruler.
A symbol used by a secret organization that emerged in Intis during the official period, but... hasn't it been wiped out?
"Then leave your contact information. If you are really determined..." A chuckle came from the other side, but he did not say anything meaningful.
"…!
"The Queen of Mystery suddenly raised her eyes and found that just for a moment, there was nothing in front of her. The person just now had disappeared, and it seemed that she had never existed at all... Recalling a moment
At the beginning, people seemed to be indifferent to her, but she suddenly realized that it was not that the crowd was completely uninterested or deceived, but that they really couldn't see it!
From beginning to end, she was talking to the air alone, but she was never aware of this fact.
Until this moment!
Bernadette's expression changed slightly. She stood blankly in the crowd, looking around.
Wasn't it said that the Third Secret Society back then was just a farce-like joke? He emerged at the juncture of his father's coup, preaching cult-like ideas, and was initially taught that state agencies and other institutions were facing a formidable enemy.
, I thought it was some evil organization that wanted to take advantage of the situation, but in the end, they cracked down hard. Not to mention it was a waste, it was completely wiped out without even bubbles popping up.
She didn't even have to worry about her father. Even her brother Charles was in charge of handling this matter at the time, and she had heard about it.
But now, the Third Secret Society has appeared again?
And he directly dispatched such an...indescribable existence?
With Bernadette's Sequence 3 saint level, she didn't find anything wrong at all. To say that the other party is an ordinary person is absolutely impossible, but to say that the other party is far higher than Sequence 3, not just Sequence 2,
It's an even more terrifying secret existence in Sequence 1. Then...why did he not fall into madness when he "looked directly" at her like that just now?
What kind of monster is that?
…………
…………
"That's a ghost! A realistic ghost! Floating over the Kingdom of Intis!
"
There was silence in the bronze palace above the gray fog. The ancient and mottled bronze long table was surrounded by the gray fog. Looking at the first line of words in the diary, Klein couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This dangerous sentence structure... It seems that fellow Russell Russell was very excited when he wrote this sentence.
