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.
To be continued...
