Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.
Chapter 365 The Mysterious Queen
Chapter 365 The Mysterious Queen
“Did you ever think it would turn out like this?”
Wearing an orange dress and with slightly curly brown hair, Fors stood outside her apartment in the Zoude District, with a pile of messy luggage beside her. She lit a cigarette for herself with a melancholy look, her beautiful face blurred in the mist.
Lu Ke, who was in the same situation, glanced at the writer, snatched the cigarette, took a sip and exhaled slowly.
“The main problem is you, if you hadn’t come in nothing would have happened.”
It turns out that not all threesomes can be as harmonious as “Ran Dong”. Although the atmosphere was indeed pushed to a climax after Fors joined, after the passion faded, Xio threw both of them out with a cold face.
Of course, the “Master of Magic” could not resist the “Sheriff” who was better at fighting. Lu Ke was too embarrassed to resist and was thrown out obediently.
Fors looked bitter: “Speak some sense, Mr. Genova. It was you who told me yesterday morning that I could come in!”
“I only let you enter the room, I didn’t let you climb onto the bed, and I certainly didn’t let you kiss me.”
Luke was arrogant and looked at Fors with a reproachful look, “If you hadn’t made her angry by taking the initiative, neither of us would have been kicked out.”
“I just kissed her on the cheek. Some places have kisses on the cheek that are more excessive than what I did. It’s obvious that it’s because you stole her talent…”
“You took the initiative, and you even kissed my girlfriend in front of me. I am clearly the victim.”
Luke retorted with a strong but unjustified attitude. Seeing that Fors looked dissatisfied, Li immediately interrupted the spell:
“Okay, stop talking about it. Let’s just forget about this matter. I forgive you.”
“…”
“Don’t do this again in the future!”
Fors almost laughed out of anger. It was the first time she knew that someone could be so shameless. Recalling the peaceful days she had spent with Xio before, and thinking about the current miserable situation, she couldn’t help but sigh. She was so unlucky.
“What should we do now?”
“Just move to another place and wait until Xiu calms down before moving back.”
Luke took Fors in a carriage to Queens. Under the watchful eyes of the guards, they came to the villa of one of his viscounts and temporarily settled Fors there.
Facing a room so luxurious that she didn’t know where to put her feet, Fors was obviously shocked. Her eyes wandered among the gilded utensils, sterling silver knives and forks, and precious furniture. She felt that the smell of gold was rippling in her breath.
“You are not the heir of a great noble family, are you? The butlers and servants are too humble to you, and the Viscount just now was also very respectful to you.”
“That viscount is my servant.”
Lu Ke put the few clothes he was wearing into the closet and answered calmly.
The titled nobles are your servants…
Fors was dumbfounded, his heart beating rapidly, and he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva:
“Don’t tell me your real last name is ‘Augustus’. The plot of a noble and powerful prince falling in love with two low-class and downtrodden extraordinary people is too tacky. Even third-rate novels wouldn’t write it like this.”
Luke had almost packed up his personal belongings. After hearing this, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He took a step closer to Fors, and enveloped her with his muscular body.
“What do you think?”
“I…how should I know.”
The oppressed Fors looked at the handsome face that was getting bigger and bigger, and felt the strong hand pressing her wrist. She thought that the other party was interested, and after struggling for a few seconds, she closed her eyes obediently, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
But she only felt her wrist empty, the oppressive feeling quickly faded away, and Lu Ke’s indifferent voice also rang out.
“In terms of status, I am a commoner now, but I will become a king in the future… or I should call him emperor, as the title of emperor is more majestic.”
“…”
Fors looked at her wrist. The bracelet she had been wearing had been taken off. The wild man not far away was playing with her bracelet, carefully tracing the patterns on it.
“This bracelet has serious side effects. Give it to me. I will prepare a more useful ‘Traveler’ extraordinary characteristic for you later.”
The bracelet is a relic given to Fors by the old man who brought her into the extraordinary world. It comes from the Abraham family. After using it for a long time, it will establish a connection with Mr. “Door” outside the starry sky.
“understood.”
Fors, disgusted by her own behavior, responded awkwardly and casually sorted out her things. As a result, she hit her toe on the leg of the cabinet with a “bang”. The piercing pain instantly brought her racing thoughts back.
“what happened?”
“fine.”
Fors frowned, and waited until the pain subsided before curling her lips:
“I feel like my luck hasn’t been very good lately. I should go to St. Siren’s Church and pray to the God of Steam and Machinery for good luck.”
Luke smiled when he heard this. “I remember that the God of Steam and Machinery’s honorific name is ‘The Incarnation of Essence, the Protector of Craftsmen, the Glory of Technology’. He should not have authority like destiny.”
Fors’s face straightened and she said mysteriously, “That may not be the case. Every time I go to pray, I feel a little luckier than usual.”
Lu Ke didn’t refute after hearing this, “It doesn’t cost money anyway, so you should trust it a little bit, right?”
Even beings at the level of the old days would still find fate a mysterious thing. Whether it was the “Lord of Mysteries”, “Key of Light”, “Goddess of Fate” or “Ring of Fate”, they all only possessed a part of the omnipotence, but the scope and size were different.
If you think about it carefully, the original “God of Craftsmen” Stiano was successfully promoted to a true god even though the Sequence One “Enlightener of Civilization” had not been completely digested. In addition, Emperor Roselle suddenly appeared and brought the Earth’s former technology to help him digest the potion and transform into the “God of Steam and Machinery.”
It seems that in the original book, when the end of the world came and the nine Old Ones attacked, He was about to self-destruct when He was interrupted by the appearance of Lumian, who was called the “Scourge of Destruction”. Afterwards, He also established a relationship with the source of the Western Continent, and there may be a chance for Him to become an Old One in the future.
This god is indeed a bit lucky, much better than someone who claims to be in charge of good luck.
Just as he was sighing, he heard Fors continue speaking.
“You have something to ask me to go to St. Hillran’s Church, so I’ll go there now.”
“also.”
Lu Ke Ai Ai didn’t object, he took out an object from his arms and handed it over, “Help me take this thing over.”
Fors took the thing and looked at it. It was about two inches long, pitch black with a metallic luster, and one end was inlaid with a silver metal piece.
“what is this?”
She looked at the exquisite machine and asked curiously.
Luke smiled and said the name of the thing that did not belong to this world: “USB flash drive.”
“U…disk?”
Fors repeated the strange and convoluted pronunciation with difficulty, “What is the use of this thing? Is it a seal? I can’t sense any spiritual existence on it.”
“This is a storage device that contains a vast amount of knowledge. In your opinion, it is a library.”
“Such a small thing is a library? It’s not an extraordinary item.”
Fors’s face was filled with disbelief.
The overall technology of the mysterious world is only at the level of the Victorian era. If it weren’t for mysterious characters like Emperor Roselle and the Seven Lights of the Spirit World promoting change, it would have developed even more slowly, and it would be difficult for the indigenous people to understand.
Luke didn’t explain, and said, “Just give this thing to someone above the bishop level, and don’t worry about it later.” Hearing this, Fors rubbed his brows with a headache: “You let a wild Beyonder deal with the bishops of the three major churches. Aren’t you really worried that I will be arrested and taken to the Inquisition?”
“rest assured.”
Lu Ke answered in a positive tone: “No one will know your identity. After handing over this thing, you will become a guest of honor in the entire Steam Church.”
The God of Steam and Machinery is at least the “embodiment of essence” and the “glory of technology”. If he can’t even decrypt the information in a USB flash drive, he would be useless.
“understood.”
Fors didn’t ask any more questions. After cleaning up, she left the room.
After the door closed, Lu Ke stood there quietly for a moment, his face darkening little by little.
Although he didn’t notice anything unusual, he knew that the fact that he was kicked out by Xio and Fors was planning to go to the church was the result of a secret effort by a “queen of misfortune and fear” to urge him to get promoted quickly.
If you can’t influence him, then change your mindset and influence the people around him?
Lu Ke frowned, and it was so obvious that he probably showed it on purpose to make him angry, so as to motivate him to get promoted. After all, only when he became strong could he take revenge.
This kind of emotion, which is designed in itself and the emotions it triggers also achieve the other party’s purpose, is really unpleasant.
No wonder those who were arranged by Adam suffered serious sequelae.
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, he can definitely take revenge. When he reaches Sequence 1, he will let the Goddess of Night know what a “conqueror” is!
Lu Ke took a deep breath and began to prepare the Sequence 4 Beyonder Characteristics that he had chosen.
After reaching a high level, after mastering enough hidden knowledge, Beyonder characteristics will become easier to find than those of the middle and low levels, because after obtaining divinity, you can start to respond to prayers.
As long as you know the real name and are within the response range of the prayer target, you can contact the other party.
In the old days, the response range was the entire universe, the true God could achieve the response range of the entire planet, the angels were probably a continent, and the saints were in a city.
Now Backlund happens to have a demigod who must have the extraordinary characteristics he wants, as well as higher-level key props.
Lu Ke snapped his fingers, and the surrounding environment became dark and deep. He recited the name of the demigod he wanted to contact in a low voice.
“The Spirit of pursuit of knowledge;”
“A beacon of a mysterious world;”
“Eyes that peer into fate;”
“The king of the sea;”
“Holy Bernadette Gustave!”
A few seconds later, a strong spiritual wave was transmitted, and pea vines fell from the sky, silently wrapping the room, making all sounds disappear, covering the ground with green, and turning the entire space into a fairy tale world.
A figure turned from virtual to real.
She was a lady with the air of someone who had held a high position for a long time. She was wearing an Intis-style white shirt, paired with beige trousers and black leather boots for ease of movement.
She sat upright on a pea vine hanging in the air, her long chestnut hair draped naturally, her straight eyebrows perfectly spread out, and her eyes were blue and deep, as if condensing the entire ocean.
The “mysterious queen” among the four emperors of the sea, the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle, Bernadette!
After staring at Luke for a few seconds with her ocean-like blue eyes, Bernadette spoke coldly:
“Who are you, and how did you know my name?”
Compared to divination, prophecy is a fragmentary peek into the future, and even if it involves gods, some fragmentary pictures can be glimpsed.
As a Sequence 3 prophet, she actually did not foresee any scenes of the person in front of her. This is very unreasonable.
Lu Ke blinked and smiled kindly, “Nice to meet you. I’m your father’s fellow villager. You can call me Uncle Lu.”
Bernadette didn’t say anything, but her expressionless face became even colder. She pointed a finger at Lu Ke, and the bright starlight quickly condensed and turned into a prison to trap Lu Ke.
At the same time, thin black cracks appeared in front of Bernadette, surrounding the Starlight Prison. The cracks opened in an instant, revealing a bloodshot eyeball with a deep pupil in the center. White bugs as small as an inch long hair were constantly wriggling and crawling there.
The Eye of Secrets!
One of the core skills of the Secret Peeper Path, the ability to see through surface appearances to discern hidden information.
One, two, three… those black slits opened one after another, and one strange eyeball after another appeared in the air. They were densely packed, staring coldly and mercilessly at Lu Ke who seemed unable to move.
Then, indescribable, overlapping balls of light enveloped the entire field of vision.
“Well……”
Bernadette groaned and took three steps back. Countless pairs of prying eyes in the air were covered with bloodshot, and they let out shrill and chilling screams, and exploded one after another.
She closed her eyes, her face was pale, blood kept flowing from her eyelids, drops fell to the ground, she could no longer maintain her extraordinary ability, was covered by pea vines, the fairy tale-like environment returned to the original room, and the starlight prison that trapped Luke also quietly dissipated.
The voice of the man in front of me came with a hint of helplessness and comfort.
“You are the bravest child I have ever met, but don’t be so brave next time.”
A burning match suddenly appeared in the void, and the illusory and warm light illuminated the surroundings, and all the scenes became illusory and hazy.
The flame burned out, and Bernadette’s figure disappeared from the spot, and reappeared a few meters away. She had returned to the same appearance as when she first arrived, but her face was a little pale, and there was a little more surprise in her eyes when she looked at Lu Ke.
“who are you?”
Luke sighed and pronounced the noun in Chinese.
“home.”
Bernadette was stunned for a moment, and her tense expression disappeared like snow melting in spring.
The words Luke said were exactly the words that her father, Emperor Roselle, had taught her when she was a child and made her remember them firmly.
“home.”
She repeated it, and her hostility disappeared without her noticing. She spoke hesitantly:
“Uncle Lu?”
“Good boy.”
Lu Ke nodded contentedly, “Uncle, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
Bernadette, who had no idea of Luke’s background, spoke cautiously:
“bad news.”
“The bad news is that George III is about to be promoted to Sequence 0 ‘Black Emperor’, and your father is really going to die!”
Bernadette’s pupils suddenly contracted, and her pale face turned into a coldness darker than ice.
“What’s the good news?”
“Your Uncle Lu will help you kill him.”
Luke smiled sheepishly: “As long as you pay a small price.”
