Klein's first suspect was undoubtedly the Elf King Soniathrym.
This ancient god invented chopsticks, knew how to make "blood tofu," liked to eat animal offal, and was very skilled at using spices. The facial features, hair color, and eyes of the mainstream descendants are similar to those of Asia on Earth. Not only did Klein suspect that He was a time traveler, but Emperor Roselle also had the same feeling.
Of course, after further investigation, Roselle initially ruled out such speculation from the perspectives of linguistics, symbolic tradition, and folk proverbs. Klein, on the other hand, believed that chopsticks as tableware, the fondness for eating offal, and the introduction of spices were not exclusive characteristics. For a race that was close to nature, these were all very likely to gradually appear in daily life!
As for why the Elf who mastered the " Sailor " pathway were a race close to nature, Klein didn't know the reason, only that their murals and writings described it that way.
"I used to think it was unlikely that the Elf King was a time traveler, but after seeing that there were three broken 'cocoons,' I'm not so sure anymore... Maybe he really is a 'fellow countryman'... Hmm, it's possible that this ancient god himself wasn't a time traveler, but some high-ranking Elf in the vicinity was, which would also allow the custom to be passed down in the name of the Elf King..." Klein murmured to himself as his fingers twitched slightly.
Almost simultaneously, he found a direction for his investigation:
In Groselle's Travels, there is an Elf Singer named Siatas who served Queen Soniathrym, also known as the " Queen of Calamity," Cohinem!
If one can enter her Sea of Collective Subconscious, one should be able to see or access fragments of memories related to the Elf and the ancient gods!
We could also use methods like " Hypnosis " to directly make her subconscious speak... The problem now is that I'm not good at these things. Last time I tried to delve into Groselle's subconscious, I was restless and couldn't calm down. Now, although I'm Demigod, I have to fight against more and more serious tendencies towards madness and loss of control, and my mental state won't be able to be completely adjusted for a long time... Forced Spirit Channeling isn't suitable for this situation, for this kind of person... Klein frowned slightly, feeling that he might need a magical item of a higher level of the " Spectator " pathway, or at least an assistant who is a " Hypnotist ".
He began to seriously consider the feasibility of inviting "Miss Justice " for help:
"There are no operational issues; entering in spirit form above the Gray Fog will not prevent one from leaving..."
"There's no need to worry that Miss ' Justice ' will discover the secret of time travelers. As long as Siatas herself doesn't have this awareness, her subconscious and collective subconscious won't point to similar conclusions. And I can find the clues I want from the details they don't care about or pay attention to..."
"The biggest problem is that Miss ' Justice ' has little adventure experience and lacks sufficient knowledge. Exploring the subconscious ocean of ancient figures is extremely dangerous for her, where she could encounter the remnants of ancient gods at any moment... And for me, it would be the same without the help of the ' Psychiatrist '..."
"Even if we want to find Miss ' Justice ' to help us, we have to wait until she reaches Sequence 5. We can make up for the lack of experience by improving our level. When that happens, we can try to Hypnosis Siatas first and see what we can get from her. If we don't get any valuable information, then we can consider Dream Divination, delving into consciousness, and stepping into that 'ocean'."
"By the way, the ' Dream Charm ' I'm currently creating isn't potent enough to sustain this exploration for long. Sigh, the goddess doesn't respond directly to such trivial matters; she only provides fixed feedback according to fixed rituals... and all the corresponding Beyonder Characteristic have been returned to the church... Should I involve Leonard? I wonder if this kind of spiritual-level attraction can circumvent the gaze of the old man within him. I'll research it these next few days..."
Klein snapped out of his thoughts and began considering his second suspect.
This person seemed unremarkable, and he had never thought of him as a time traveler before. However, after calming down and re-examining the situation, Klein discovered that many things he had taken for granted were not so simple upon closer inspection, and contained unspeakable horrors.
What he suspected was:
Ancient The Sun God, Creator City of Silver!
"The sacred texts of the seven major churches all bear the influence of Western religions on Earth... and so do their Mass rituals!"
"Based on the description of the little ' The Sun,' what Emperor Roselle saw in Adam's little chapel, and the content of the murals on the ruins of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, it is clear that the main symbolic element of that Ancient The Sun God was the cross!"
He named his children Adam and Amon...
" The Angel under His throne all have wings of light; I haven't seen any other way to achieve this, at least not yet..."
"He rose to power from an unknown source, suddenly appearing in the late Second Age, killing many ancient gods and reclaiming many powers..."
"These details, which I didn't think much of before, are now terrifying to think about." Klein hissed, actually believing that the Ancient The Sun God was more suspicious than the Elf King Soniathrym.
The other person's life story is truly legendary; they seem more like the protagonist of their era than even Emperor Roselle!
Of course, His end was also quite tragic. He was actually devoured by the Angel King surrounding His throne. Even if Emperor Roselle's end was tragic, it couldn't have been this bad.
"Does this explain Amon and Adam's attitudes from another perspective? They both believe that the Gray Fog is related to their father, but due to their different paths, they make different choices? Hmm, there's a certain probability that Adam can't see the Gray Fog; he's not High-Sequence powerhouse among the four paths of ' Fate,' ' Marauder,' ' Seer, ' and ' Apprentice '..." Klein nodded slightly.
Following these clues, he also had an investigative direction that didn't require contact with high-ranking figures at the Angel level:
In Grosser's Travels, there lives a monk named Snowman who survived the Tertiary period and served the ancient sun god!
"The question returns to what we just discussed... There's nothing else to suspect for the time being." Klein slowly exhaled, extending his right hand to pick up the newly acquired " Card of Blasphemy ":
" Red Priest " plaque!
As Spirituality energy flowed through the card, it emitted rays of crimson light, constructing a palm-sized illusory book.
As the pages of the book turn, one vivid and vivid Roselle Gustav. He is dressed as Hunter, or raising his middle finger, or walking among burning buildings, or standing behind a trap. He has all sorts of clothes and does all sorts of things.
" Sequence 9: Hunter... Sequence 8: Provoker... Sequence 7: Pyromaniac... Sequence 6: Conspirer... Sequence 5: Reaper... Sequence 4: Iron-Blooded Knight... Sequence 3: War Bishop... Sequence 2: Weather Warlock... Sequence 1: Conqueror... Sequence 0: Red Priest..." Klein's gaze swept over the tarot card-sized portraits, imprinting their contents into his mind.
He was not surprised by the ascension ritual of this path Sequence 0, and had even anticipated it, because Hermes had once told Roselle that the "red" in " Red Priest " referred to the Red of War.
Therefore, when he saw the words "start a war that sweeps across the continent and achieve sufficient victory," Klein felt no ripple of emotion.
After covering the " Red Priest " plaque, he rubbed his temples, feeling a slight improvement in his mental state after focusing on the problem, and finally felt tired.
"Let's set a short-term goal first: find out who's behind the Great Smog of Backlund Incident. That's something we haven't finished yet. Hmm, continue the arms deal according to plan. Once we get the money, we'll return to Backlund. We have two leads now: one is Viscount Stratford of the Royal Guard, and the other is Major General Qonas Kilgor, the Deputy Director of Military Intelligence Section 9..." Klein forced himself to cheer up, intending to find something to do first.
Before leaving the Gray Fog, he threw the psychological potion formula given to him by Miss Justice into the crimson star symbolizing the " The Moon " Emlyn, paying £1 per bottle to have this Vampire, skilled in potion concoction, prepare a week's supply for the "world".
Inside the Odora family's villa in Backlund.
Emlyn White, who was waiting in the living room, pursed his lips and muttered to himself:
"A business deal that's only 7 pounds, I really don't want to take it... 'World,' be careful, you can manage to mix it yourself."
He did not object to "the world's" demands, because having only spent £5,000 on the Sequence 5 artificial Vampire Beyonder Characteristic, he only had £730 left in cash.
Just then, Kasimi, a middle-aged gentleman, walked in.
After exchanging greetings, the Sanguine Baron asked:
Emlyn, what brings you here all of a sudden?
Emlyn felt a little guilty, then recalled his previous experiences and the words of " The Hanged Man " and "The World," and slightly raised his chin, answering casually:
"I've acquired the Sequence 5 ' Scarlet Scholar ' Beyonder Characteristic. I wonder when the ritual will begin to make me Viscount?"
Kasimi paused for a moment, then asked in surprise:
"You've acquired the Beyonder Characteristic of a ' Scarlet Scholar '?"
Emlyn glanced at him, nodded with a barely perceptible smile, and said:
"Right."
He didn't explain how he acquired those Beyonder Characteristic, adopting an attitude that "you don't need to know."
Kasimi opened his mouth, then fell silent, and after several seconds spoke:
"Wait until the next Full Moon."
He paused for a moment, then said:
"I happen to have something to ask you."
"My grandfather asked me to tell you that a very important person will be coming to Backlund soon, and he wants to see you."
Emlyn's pupils dilated instantly.
Given the Sanguine's ancient history, dating back to the Second Era, even with the addition of "0" level Sealed Artifact, the number of powerful figures at the Angel level wouldn't exceed five fingers!
P. S.: The book is titled "I Add Points to Everything." The protagonist obtains a point-adding system, and the points he adds are all very strange and interesting. Adding points to a pillow creates a pillow that thinks it's a dog; adding points to a swimming pool creates a pool god that can randomly exchange items; adding points to a pen creates a 2B pencil that can only give you a zero on tests. In short, they are all bizarre and fun superpowers and items.
