Mystery: Beginning with the Pope of Night

"The dream made of iron, the Duke of flowing water..."

Russell thought of the empire's "Dream Duke" legend.

According to legend, the castle of Dream Duke is the real core of this ancient empire. The emperor and the other dukes must care about the will of Dream Castle.

The biggest evidence is that the finances, one of the most important powers of the empire, are in the hands of Dream Castle.

Russell was even more surprised when he learned from his cheap father that even the emperor needed to consult Dream Castle for financial matters.

The status of this dream castle in the Solomon Empire is too special.

"It seems that this 'Dream' is the biggest mastermind behind this world!"

"He will be my biggest enemy from now on. Defeat him and I will be in charge!"

puff!

Truman, who was drinking sweet iced tea and taking pleasure from Russell, the "country boy", squirted directly.

How did you come to this conclusion? As expected of Russell, this brain circuit is completely different!

Russell, who gradually understood the effectiveness of the silver medal's magical item, had obtained the basic knowledge of extraordinary beings from the silver medal and knew the existence of the extraordinary world, but he still had full confidence in himself.

This is probably because of Truman.

The power of the silver medal is probably enough for Russell to choose three abilities independently in each sequence.

For example, after he becomes Sequence Nine, he can choose any three abilities from "Soothsayer", "Stealer", and "Apprentice" on the silver medal.

This kind of plug-in is equivalent to carrying three magical items with no side effects, and the advantages become more obvious the higher the sequence.

"No, I'm too excited. I must find someone to share it with!" After Russell discovered the power of the silver medal, his face turned red with excitement. He jumped up and down, wishing to upgrade to Sequence Nine immediately.

"By the way, I can keep a diary!"

"Hey, you can write it in simplified Chinese, and no one can decipher it anyway! You can even record some secret information and use it as a memo..."

"Only a serious person like me can write a diary!"

Russell took out a pen and paper and wrote down his excitement and disappointment after coming into this world.

In the process, he sorted out his thoughts and became more confident and looking forward to the future.

"Join a church first and get the magic potion!"

A declining nobleman doesn't even have an Beyonder. In the end, Russell still needs to work hard on his own.

The Church of the "True Creator", the Church of the "God of Artisans", the Church of the "Eternal Blazing Sun"...

These were the churches that preached legally in Solomon's empire, and the rest were illegal organizations.

In fact, he wanted to join the mysterious "Dream Sect" in one step and dismantle the mastermind behind the entire world from within.

However, this "dream sect" is extremely weird. It does not actively recruit believers like a church, and even the condition for joining is a sufficiently devout belief. This is a bit difficult for Russell's young people in the 21st century.

"Then there's no need to choose, there's only one choice!"

"The Church of the God of Craftsmen!"

"Praise you, God of All Machines. One day, I will change the name of the Artisan Church to the Mechanicus."

At this moment, the gears of fate are turning quietly, everything has its initial trajectory, and then begins to rush towards the unknown future.

Truman did not interfere. What he was looking forward to was the moment when Russell actually walked in front of him.

Hmm... It's also possible that he walked up to Russell and completed some kind of plan with him.

"Your Majesty the Dream Crown..."

A god has already come to find Truman.

A voice from a distant star realm rang in Truman's ears.

"Oh, 'Craftsman'!" Truman blinked, and his consciousness flew up to the "perfect place".

This is the kingdom of the "God of Craftsmen", far above the star realm, blocked in a crack.

Truman's consciousness directly entered the "perfect place".

This is a perfect place for craftsmen. Machines traveling everywhere with the help of various extraordinary abilities are more modern than the deeds in Truman's memory.

But this is all supported by the divine power of the "Perfect One" and cannot be popularized all over the world.

Truman entered the "Perfect Place" and soon saw the "Craftsman" on a huge lever.

After becoming a god, He looked more like a robot, wearing a metal mask and with silvery luster in his eyes.

"Long time no see." Truman smiled and nodded.

"Under the Dream Crown," the voice of "Artisan" was like the sound of a machine, with a metallic texture.

"I see you in the trajectory of future civilization."

The "Perfect Man" is closely related to the development of civilization. As the leader of civilization, he can see the development trajectory of future civilization and make choices that are most beneficial to the development of civilization.

"Craftsmen" present the pictures they see on the trajectory of civilization.

A cloud of steam erupted, driving the operation of the steam engine, but there was also a thick black mist filling the sky.

The next moment, there are also new-style sailing boats sailing out to sea, riding the wind and waves.

In these scenes, Truman and another slightly dissolute and arrogant man appear.

That's right, it's Russell.

This is probably some picture of the future that the "God of Artisans" saw in the development trajectory of civilization after Russell decided to join the "Artisans" Church.

Among these pictures, Russell's pictures account for a large proportion. He is a "great man" in the vision of civilization who can push the world forward.

"Well, this person can help you better stand at the forefront of the development of civilization, and my guess is good. He has probably decided to join your church."

Truman said casually, and then imprinted these pictures in his mind one by one. Finally, his eyes stayed on a book and he was silent for a while.

After that, he looked at the "artisan".

The current "God of Craftsman" is not the "craftsman" in the original trajectory who did not finish digesting the potion.

He is the true "Perfect One" who controls the most advanced technology of human civilization and always stands at the forefront of the development of civilization.

This makes the "Artisan" church actually in good shape. Except that the "Artisan" church is indeed weaker than other churches because of its youth, there are no other shortcomings.

Promoting the development of civilization is a strengthening of the authority of the "perfect people" and a guarantee for the "perfect people".

"Do I need to make him my God's Favorite?" "Artisan" asked.

"You decide for yourself. I can only tell you that something will happen to him, so don't be too surprised."

It is not surprising what a highly mobile "traveler" can do.

"...Okay." "Artisan" nodded gently.

And Truman has gained a little bit here. He has restored the authority of the "Perfect One", but that's all.

He is not at the forefront of the development trend of civilization like a "craftsman", and his sense of the future of civilization is not as good as that of a "craftsman".

And after looking at the trajectories of future civilizations, he had an excellent idea.
