Mystery: Gain the Uniqueness of the Thief at the Beginning,IntroductionAfter crossing the world of the Mysterious Lord and becoming Amon's twin brother, Rosen began his journey through various timelines.
He summoned Zhou Mingrui to the Third Age, and played online games with him in the Old Age.
Rosen arrived in the Fourth Age with the Red Angel, joyfully beating up Adam, creating the madman Tudor, and helping Azik escape his wicked father.
In Sefirah Castle, Rosen enthusiastically aided Zhou Mingrui in beating up the Celestial Lord, allowing Mr. Fool to land as an Angel upon his death, thus achieving the true "Return of the Fool" in the Fifth Age.
Rosen was also Roselle's magical pen pal and helped Amon enjoy a complete and chaotic childhood. He left a profound mark in every era, rising to the pinnacle of the Old Age through these traces.
P.S.: The protagonist is the son of Shab, following a self-created path, with no syndicate.Chapter 1: People in Secret, Becoming Amon Brothers
Rosen was thinking.Just three seconds ago, he was happily attending the comic convention, taking photos and checking in with many cosplayers, and even received a homemade character peripheral, a monocle, from an enthusiastic teacher named Amon.As a veteran fan of the mystery, Rosen naturally chose to wear a monocle on the scene. He was about to act out a classic scene with Teacher Amon, "You are Amon, I am Amon, we are all Amon." However, when he lowered his head to adjust his clothes, when he looked up again, Rosen found that something was wrong.The enthusiastic teacher Amon was gone, replaced by a young cub who looked no more than three years old. Coincidentally, he was also wearing a monocle and was still sleeping soundly. The venue next to him, which had originally gathered various cosplayers and passers-by, disappeared and turned into a building similar to a palace.Not far away, a tall man who seemed to have northern ancestry judging by his face was looking at him quietly. His hair was not long and was mainly black, but with some gold at the roots.What the hell is this? Is this still Earth?Rosen's heart skipped a beat. He almost immediately realized that he might have encountered the legendary time travel. In the next second, he realized something and looked down at his current body.His body seemed to be the same, at least the accessories were familiar to him. Rosen could even see the peripherals he got from the exhibition in his pocket, but he had shrunk to the size of a three-year-old.So I'm wearing? Then where is this? Monocle, hair, and this hair color...hiss!Rosen took a deep breath. At that moment, he realized who the other person was. It was Grisha, the original Lord of Mysteries, who died early but could be called a white moonlight-level character. He was the first survivor of the Old Ones, who saved mankind from the oppression of the extraordinary races in the ancient god era. He was the sun god who brought light to the world in a physical sense. He was also known as Grisha, the creator of the City of Silver.Rosen then thought of something and raised his hand to touch the monocle on his face. He instantly realized that this monocle, which was originally an ordinary toy but quite exquisite, had become different.——This thing really seems to possess the power of a thief's uniqueness!Rosen confirmed that he might have traveled to the world of the Lord of Mysteries, and there was a great possibility that he would land directly at the birthplace of Amon at the beginning of the Third Age, and even landed there with uniqueness and language proficiency.So here comes the key question, did he steal this uniqueness from Amon, or did he bring it with him?What does the Sun God think of this guy who suddenly appeared?Thinking of the Sun God's gentle yet ruthless demeanor in the original novel, and the various actions Adam took to save the world after merging with the true Creator on the eve of the apocalypse, Rosen made a decision in a flash. He looked at the Sun God, gave him a harmless smile, and shouted:"Father."Rosen was gambling, gambling on his own identity in the eyes of others, gambling that the Sun God would not attack a child, would not attack a seemingly harmless person.Of course, if he loses the bet, Rosen is actually prepared to use his uniqueness to run away.Although you may not be able to escape, you have to try your best.…The Sun God fell into silence for a rare moment.Today was supposed to be a day to be happy. His child Amon was about to be born, and Adam, the successor He had prepared for Him, would also appear in the world as the eldest son of God.But now something unexpected happened. A child who should not have been born was born. The child was born with Amon and even shared the thief's unique power.If it were just that, it would be fine. For the sun god, it was nothing more than his originally destined youngest son becoming a pair of twins, but the reality was even worse.Grisha, the sun god, looked at the child in front of him. The child looked up at him like a real child, with clear green eyes and a harmless and soft smile, like a real little angel.The eyes of the sun god told him, "Yes, this is your child." His cognition emphasized, "Although an accident occurred, he is also your child." His emotions pulled him, "Why not hug your child? He is calling you father."However, his shaky sanity was not completely overwhelmed after all, and the spirit belonging to half of God was frantically sounding the alarm - do not look directly at God.Suddenly, the Sun God saw layers of fog shrouding the other party's side. The fragrance of plants seemed to become stronger at this moment, with a fallen vitality. The Sun God heard the sound of plants growing and the sound of branches sprouting. Faintly, it seemed that there were goats crying.The sun god closed his eyes.He knew that this was a monster, a god, an indescribable existence.The other party modified his cognition the moment it came, so that although he should be full of vigilance, he emotionally treated the other party as a child.The Sun God gritted his teeth.At this moment, He considered taking action, but in the end, the Sun God did nothing. Even His expression didn't change. He simply smiled in response and said, "Perhaps you have already chosen a name for yourself?"The Sun God knew that he had to stabilize the monster opposite him for the sake of this world.He was not sure that he could kill the other party, nor was he sure that he could suppress the other party. He was not sure whether going to war with the other party would bring destruction to the already crumbling world, so the Sun God chose to follow the other party's wishes and find out the other party's background.…Rosen naturally didn't know that he had become an indescribable existence in the eyes of the Sun God. In fact, although he vaguely sensed the subtlety of the Sun God's attitude, Rosen was more concerned about the Sun God's response at this moment.After all, Rosen really didn't want to fight the Sun God. He was just a novice traverser. Even with the uniqueness of a thief, he obviously couldn't beat half a god!So after hearing the Sun God's question, Rosen inevitably breathed a sigh of relief. He paused and then replied, "I think I should be called Rosen, Rosen Nicholas, father."Rosen's real name is of course Luo Mingsen. He has no plans to give himself a new name. After all, he has used this name for more than 20 years. As for "Rosen Nicholas", it was the name Rosen used when traveling abroad. He followed the local customs and considering the background of today's era, Rosen simply continued to use it.As for whether this answer would be noticed as wrong - in fact, Rosen really didn't care. After all, there was something wrong with his whole body, so this was not a big deal.Then Rosen heard the sun god read his name."Rosen Nicholas..." The Sun God seemed to want to remember this name, or perhaps he was thinking of something else. In any case, after a pause, the Sun God spoke gently: "Your brother hasn't woken up yet. Perhaps you don't mind waiting here for a while?"
Chapter 2 Amon, Your Brother is Here
Does he really regard me as Amon's brother, or... Rosen glanced at the Sun God thoughtfully. After the initial chaos, he regained his senses and realized that the Sun God's attitude towards him seemed a little subtle, even fearful.Why? Even if the other party really realized that he was an outsider, he was at most a unique spirit. What was there to be afraid of?Or did the time travel actually bring him some changes that he himself hasn't noticed yet, but that the Sun God has already noticed?Thinking of the monocle that had inexplicably transformed from a peripheral item into something seemingly unique, Rosen's eyes flickered with thought. He then glanced at the cub Amon, who was still sleeping beside him and had not yet woken up, and smiled at the Sun God. "I'm happy to wait for my little brother to wake up, but can I know his name?""...Amon, you can call Him Amon." The Sun God paused, suddenly glanced at the position behind Rosen, and said, "Adam, please take care of your two brothers for the time being. I will let Sasriel take care of you later."Rosen was stunned for a moment, then he noticed that there was a child with blond hair and golden eyes next to him. The child looked slightly older than him and Amon, but not much older.So this is the legendary Adam who can grow out of the air?Rosen couldn't help but look at the other person curiously. He was not very afraid of being discovered by the other person's inner thoughts. After all, he had the uniqueness of a thief. Even if the novice was relying on instinct, Rosen knew how to avoid this from happening."Okay, father, I will take good care of my brothers." Although Adam looked only four or five years old, and might even have been born today with his two younger brothers, he looked very calm.The sun god seemed to be very confident in his eldest son. After saying a few more words, he turned and left.Rosen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was still under a lot of pressure in front of the Sun God.Although Adam was also a sun god, he hadn't awakened yet and could be considered a real child... Rosen glanced at Adam again. When he looked at him, he approached him enthusiastically, smiling brightly, and said, "Adam, can I call you brother?"Rosen didn't think there was anything shameful about calling a little kid "brother". As a former drama actor, he had performed even more shameful things before."Of course, Rosen." Adam nodded. He was obviously trying hard to keep his face straight to make himself look more stable, but due to the limitations of the hardware, this made him look a bit cute."Pfft..." Rosen couldn't help laughing. Before the other party could react, he turned around and poked Amon's face, saying with a hint of concern: "Why hasn't Amon woken up yet? Is there something wrong?"Rosen's concern was fake, but his worry was real. He really didn't want his time travel to cause any problems for Amon. After all, that would put him and the Sun God at odds.Fortunately, with Rosen's words, Amon, who had been sleeping quietly, finally opened his eyes. His pure black eyes looked at Rosen, and the next second he reached out to grab the monocle on Rosen's face."No, brother, this is my thing." Rosen said with a smile as he grabbed Amon's dirty claws."It was you who stole my things." Amon was obviously a little aggrieved. When he was just born, the angels were not as contemptuous as those in later generations. He looked aggrieved, like a child whose toys were stolen.But this child was obviously not as harmless as an ordinary child. In fact, Amon chose to attack again the next second. He seemed to really want to snatch the lost power away, but he was unable to use the unique power, so he was obviously no match for Rosen, the owner of the unique power.Rosen also experienced his first battle since traveling through time, although Rosen preferred to call it a fight between two noobs.Amon, who was just born and obviously not very skilled in using his abilities, and Rosen, who was a novice on the road and also not very skilled in using his abilities, were fighting each other fiercely. Adam, who was standing next to them, wanted to mediate but was unanimously rejected by his two younger brothers.Amon really wanted to take back the power he had lost. Although he had not really lost his uniqueness, the power of uniqueness was no longer in his hands, but in the hands of the other party. Therefore, as long as Rosen was there, he could not exert the power of uniqueness.Amon's instinct as a naughty child made him unwilling to accept this fact.Rosen simply wanted to take this opportunity to practice and familiarize himself with his new abilities.While the two were fighting each other, on the other side, the Sun God, who seemed to have left but was actually not, was silently watching this scene. Beside Him was the Dark Angel Sasriel who had arrived not long ago.Sasriel withdrew his gaze from the scene of the fight, where feathers flew everywhere. There was still a softness in his eyes, clearly moved by the scene. He looked at the Sun God and said, "Perhaps the situation is not as bad as you think. This child does not seem to have any ill intentions towards our world.""Your cognition has been affected, and you think of Him as our real child." The Sun God spoke in an almost icy tone. He had just left, on the one hand to notify his other half to come over, and on the other hand to better observe Rosen."You must stay awake, we must stay awake." The Sun God glanced at Sasriel, as if warning or reminding him.Sasriel did not refute. He simply stared silently at his master, his true self. After a moment, he said:"I understand, Lord, and I will look favorably upon Him."The Sun God did not have the energy to keep watching Rosen. Since the Third Age, the will of God in his body had become increasingly active, which required the Sun God to expend more energy to suppress the other party.So the sun god chose to let his incarnation, the dark angel Sasriel, the deputy lord of heaven, to perform this duty.Of course this does not mean that the Sun God no longer pays attention to each other.…Rosen had a room of his own.In the seventh minute of his fierce fight with Amon, the dark angel Sasriel, who appeared out of nowhere, separated them. This handsome, somewhat gloomy, but gentle incarnation of the sun god comforted Amon and Rosen respectively, and then took the three newly born cubs of the sun god to their new residence.In this situation, Rosen had a room of his own. To his left was Amon's residence, and to his right was Adam's room."...The basic necessities of life are already prepared. If you have any special needs, please let me know." Sasriel said this, half-crouching in front of Rosen, looking at the boy in front of him, and said in a soft tone:"I'm sorry, I still have things to take care of and can't stay with you all the time, but I'm in the study. You can come to me if you need anything."
Chapter 3 Zhou Mingrui appears
"Thank you, Sasriel." Rosen didn't need anything in particular. In fact, he wanted some time alone to take stock of the things he had.
Sasriel may or may not have noticed this, but after reaching out and rubbing Rosen's head, he considerately left the room.
As the door closed, Rosen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, even though he knew that a door alone couldn't stop the angel from peeping if he wanted to. He then raised his hand and snapped his fingers, using the power of the thief's uniqueness to create further isolation, ensuring that if the other party wanted to peek, even if he couldn't stop them, at least he could sense it.
Then he fell back onto his new, soft bed and began to wonder how the hell this had happened.
"I didn't do anything strange, how come I traveled through time and space, and I also have these glasses..." Rosen muttered in his heart. He reached out and took off the monocle on his face, observing this thing that was once an ordinary peripheral, but now actually possessed the unique power of a thief.
In fact, after fighting with Amon, Rosen basically confirmed that he did not really obtain the thief's uniqueness. The uniqueness itself still belonged to Amon, but the power belonging to the uniqueness was shared with this monocle.
Moreover, Rosen holds the dominant position in this sharing. As long as he does not release this part of the power, Amon will not be able to use the unique power. Similarly, if Rosen releases the authority, he can make him and Amon possess the unique power at the same time, without any weakening.
I have to say this is a bit contrary to Tiangang.
"Haha, Amon has come to this day..." Rosen thought of the big boss Shi Angel in the later part of the mysterious original novel, who was full of oppression and had brought some psychological trauma to him as a former reader. Then he thought of the little Amon who was suppressed by his unique power, and he couldn't help laughing for a moment.
After thinking about it, Rosen inevitably wondered why such an outrageous thing happened. How could an ordinary peripheral allow him to share power with Amon? Was this a wonderful change brought about by time travel, or was there something special about the peripheral itself?
"It's impossible that that's really an Amon..." Rosen muttered to himself as he thought of the Amon cosplay he had taken a photo with, but he knew that this was unlikely. Then he thought of something else and took out a few more things from his pocket.
It includes a red angel keychain, a badge with Tianzun painted on it, a Zhou Mingrui mini cotton doll, a gem buckle symbolizing Mr. Men, and so on, which can be called a series of items surrounding the mysterious family bucket.
These are all peripherals he obtained at comic conventions, through purchase, or given by enthusiastic cosplayers. Unlike the monocle that has obviously changed, these peripherals still look the same as before and there is nothing special about them.
"So only the monocle is special?" Rosen fell into thought, unconsciously kneading the cotton doll in his hand. This was a habit of his. When he felt stressed, he liked to pinch something soft.
After pinching it for a while, Rosen held the cotton doll by the back collar and looked into the other's black eyes, and suddenly felt a little sorry.
If he had to travel to the world of the Lord of Mysteries, rather than meeting the Sun God and Amon, he would actually rather meet the protagonist of the Lord of Mysteries, Klein Moretti, who was once Zhou Mingrui.
It wasn't that Rosen had any particular attachment to the protagonist, although he did like the protagonist quite a bit. But he actually wanted to ask him directly: "Will you regret this?"
Will you regret becoming the savior who is pushed onto the altar and offering all this for an era that has nothing to do with you?
When Rosen thought of the ending of the Suhuan, he thought of Klein's remaining humanity. His thoughts drifted away for a few seconds, but he still looked at the eyes that were imprinted on him.
The cotton doll's eyes are naturally the standard two-dimensional KISS ME big eyes. Since they are not glass beads, there is no highlight.
Then Rosen saw the eyes blink.
Wait… blinked?
Rosen suddenly came to his senses. He looked at the cotton doll in his hand and saw that the other party's face, which should have had a fixed expression, showed an awkward and flustered smile.
"Um... hello?"
The cotton doll spoke.
…
Zhou Mingrui is a bit stubborn.
It's not his fault. Anyone who wakes up and finds themselves turned into a cotton doll would probably feel a little confused.
So, did I travel through time? But why is it a cotton doll?
Is this scientific?
"Is it possible that time travel itself is unscientific?"
When Zhou Mingrui was mentally breaking down, he heard the child who had been holding him by the back of his collar and now placed him neatly on the table suddenly speak.
Indeed, time travel itself is not very scientific... Wait?!
Zhou Mingrui realized something and looked at the child in front of him in horror. He originally thought that he had traveled to some cub's home and became the other party's toy. He was already prepared to fool the other party, but what happened?
"Why are you looking at me in such horror? Is there something strange on my face?" Rosen certainly knew what Xiao Zhou was surprised about, but that didn't stop him from saying it.
"You..." Zhou Mingrui paused, as if thinking of something, and asked cautiously, "Sir, is it because of you that I traveled through time?"
To be honest, at this moment he had already imagined that the other party was some strange time-traveling god or something like that. After all, this was not uncommon in novels.
"No, although I am indeed an angel now, and in this era I can even be called a subordinate god, I am not the transmigrating god you were expecting."
Rosen refuted seriously. He supported the minibus with one hand and said with a smile, "Actually, I am also a time traveler, and I am also troubled by time travel."
Rosen didn't intend to hide this from Zhou Mingrui. After all, his identity as a time traveler allowed him to quickly build a close relationship with Zhou Mingrui. Although strictly speaking, he wasn't a time traveler from the old times.
So you're a time travel victim like me? No, that's not right...
Zhou Mingrui looked at Rosen with a sharp and scrutinizing gaze and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Once might be a lucky guess, but twice is not right.
"Not really. I can just sense what you're thinking when you're emotional sometimes." Rosen shook his head, but didn't deny it completely. Instead, he explained.
This is also true. It may be because Zhou Mingrui traveled through time and space to the body of a cotton doll, so he can indeed sense what the other person is thinking when the other person's emotions fluctuate.
Then Rosen saw that the cotton doll's face flushed instantly. It was obvious that having one's mind read was not something that could be easily accepted, although the person involved obviously felt embarrassed and annoyed.
Of course, in addition to this, Rosen also sensed some of Zhou Mingrui's thoughts at this moment, which could probably be summarized as a groundhog scream.
Chapter 4 Zhou Mingrui Wants to Destroy the World
"I'm sorry about this, but it's not something I can stop. Perhaps you could calm yourself down a bit? To be honest, it's a bit noisy." To prevent a future Mr. Fool from committing suicide out of shame or choosing to silence him, Rosen suggested seriously, covering his ears with his hands.
"You, I... I will, thanks for the reminder." Zhou Mingrui took a deep breath - although he has now turned into a cotton doll, he still has this ability - and tried to calm himself down, but still felt embarrassed. If there was a crack in the ground at this moment, he would definitely crawl into it without hesitation.
Destroy this world!
At least at this moment, Zhou Mingrui felt so sincerely.
Fortunately, as a future being who can pretend to be a god without changing his expression, Xiao Zhou still has the basic ability to stabilize his emotions and he quickly adjusted himself.
He then looked at the cub in front of him, thought for a moment, and then said, "So you don't know what's going on either?"
"It's a pity, but it's true." Rosen nodded. It wasn't a lie. After all, he really didn't know why Xiao Zhou's consciousness traveled to the cotton doll.
But thinking of the monocle that had also changed, Rosen raised his hand and pinched the monocle on his face, and said, "But maybe I can give it a try..."
"What?" Zhou Mingrui was obviously surprised, but before he could ask further questions, he saw the cub opposite smiling at him.
The other party said:
"Ah, it seems to have worked. Well, see you tomorrow, Xiao Zhou!"
The next second, Zhou Mingrui's eyes went dark, and he regained consciousness after a brief period of darkness.
"brush--"
Zhou Mingrui suddenly sat up from the bed. He even sprained his waist because he exerted too much force, which made him gasp in pain. While holding his waist, he looked at everything around him that was familiar, his eyes filled with surprise.
He returned, returned to his room, returned to the times he was familiar with.
Zhou Mingrui then thought of something and looked down at his body. Sure enough, he had returned to his original body and was no longer a palm-sized cotton doll.
"Was it... a dream just now? No, that's impossible. If it was a dream, it would be too real. And..." Zhou Mingrui frowned. He suddenly realized that after he traveled to that strange place just now, the language he spoke was not Chinese at all, but a language he had never encountered before.
…
"Sure enough, just like the uniqueness of the thief, Zhou Mingrui did not really travel to the cotton doll, but a part of his consciousness was shared with it." Rosen pinched the peripherals of the doll that had turned back into an ordinary doll, and he had already come to some conclusions in his heart.
Although he didn't know why, the surroundings that followed him through time clearly had their own special characteristics, and Rosen was able to control these special characteristics to a certain extent.
For example, just now, Rosen could choose to put Zhou Mingrui's consciousness back. For example, now, Rosen can probably sense that if he wants to pull Zhou Mingrui's consciousness back, he will have to wait until 24 hours later.
This is also why Rosen said we would meet tomorrow.
Moreover, Rosen discovered that he seemed to be able to share the power of consciousness attached to the cotton doll to a certain extent. Just as the monocle shared the power of uniqueness, the cotton doll also allowed Rosen to share Zhou Mingrui's power.
"But Xiao Zhou is still just an ordinary person. He has no power." Rosen complained, put away the cotton doll, and started fiddling with other peripherals:
"Since the monocle and the cotton doll both have their own special properties, how have these things changed?"
"What are the triggering conditions?" Rosen recounted his recent experience. After a moment, he hesitated and said in his heart, "I just wanted to see Zhou Mingrui, and then the cotton doll changed...I wonder what the power of thinking is?"
Rosen wasn't sure. He thought for a moment and picked up the Medici keychain, thinking silently in his heart:
"I want to see Medici."
There are no changes to the keychain.
Rosen then changed his mind after waiting for a while:
"I want to borrow the power of the Red Angel."
The keychain remains unchanged.
After repeating this experiment several times, Rosen had to admit that he might have guessed wrong. The surrounding triggers might have nothing to do with his thoughts. It was just a simple coincidence.
This made Rosen somewhat disappointed, and he looked at the remaining peripherals. Most of them were like key chains, without any special reaction. Only one thing gave Rosen a surprise.
That was not something Rosen obtained at the comic convention, but a free peripheral product made by Rosen himself, a blasphemous card containing a path set by Rosen himself.
Along with the strong light, figures appeared on the Blasphemy Card. They were not various versions of Roselle, but Rosen himself in different forms.
Rosen pursed his lips and his gaze fell on the projection symbolizing Sequence Nine. It was a young child, brimming with joy.
——Sequence 9: Peter Pan.
Rosen's gaze swept across the remaining sequences of images one by one, finally landing on the last projection, which was a "Rosen" full of majesty and kindness.
——In the old days, the father of all living things.
"This thing actually came true." Rosen couldn't help but cover his face. He had originally created this self-created path with the intention of making a living, targeting the Fallen Mother Goddess.
At first, Rosen thought that since there was a "mother" path, why couldn't there be a "father" path? So Rosen simply created this self-made path.
But at the time he never thought that this would become true, so when setting it up, he added a lot of personal opinions for the sake of fun.
"I was wrong. I should have designed it carefully..." Rosen felt a rare sense of regret. He sighed, put away the activated Blasphemy Card, and began to think again: "But will this approach really work?"
Although there are indeed private goods and tricks, when he designed this approach, he was targeting the third pillar, and there is no doubt that it is powerful. If it can really work... Rosen's eyes flickered.
He knew very well that fists were the real force.
"Maybe we can give it a try." Rosen then thought of something else and breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, I was quite rigorous when I was setting it up."
From a rigorous point of view, although Rosen fiddled with the design of the potion's name and ability, the potion formula was really made by him carefully according to the setting of the original work. Although there is suspicion of misassembling the potion, the materials should theoretically exist in this world.
In addition to the new source material he created... Rosen thought of this and his eyes fell on the blasphemous card. He pinched the blasphemous card, carefully sensing the possible special features. After a moment, his eyes lit up.
Chapter 5 The Brotherly War of the Sun God Family
Because Rosen did feel a breath that was higher than uniqueness at a certain moment just now. There was no doubt that it was the source of the "father" path.
Just like the changes that occurred around Rosen, the source substance that he had originally created had apparently also descended into this world.
However, Rosen has not yet officially embarked on the path of "father", so although he can sense the breath of the source, he cannot officially obtain the other party's power.
He was still missing a key.
"Anyway, this way, we can really take this path." Rosen made up his mind. Although it was a bit foolish to take his own path, he actually had an intuition that only by taking this path could he get the answer he wanted.
For example, why did he travel through time and space, and why did such magical changes happen to the surrounding areas.
After deciding on his future path, Rosen began to think about his current situation.
This is obviously the early Third Age, a peaceful era after the Sun God defeated the Old Gods and liberated humanity.
This may also be the most peaceful period in the world after the apocalypse caused by the awakening of the Creator. Under the suppression of the Sun God, there may be minor disturbances, but large-scale wars will obviously not happen.
If Rosen had not landed directly at the birthplace of Amon, arriving in such an era would probably be a good thing, at least better than landing in the chaotic Second Era. But now Rosen obviously needs to think about what he is to the Sun God.
Rosen was well aware that, although superficially he seemed to be recognized as Amon's twin brother, another child of the Sun God, and the Sun God himself seemed to have tacitly accepted this, Rosen was a being very sensitive to emotions and could sense the Sun God's wariness and fear towards him.
Even the reason why Sasriel was sent to take care of them was probably to monitor him. After all, as the incarnation of the Sun God, the Deputy Lord of Heaven is obviously the most trusted existence of the Sun God in this world. And because of his connection with the Chaos Sea, Sasriel is far more powerful than the ordinary Angel King. He is even nicknamed the King of Angel Kings by readers in Rosen's original world.
With Him around, we can obviously handle any situation well.
It was hard for Rosen to say that this was a good thing. After all, the Sun God was a very scary existence as an opponent, but he didn't think it was a completely bad thing either.
"He didn't attack me directly, but acknowledged my identity and arranged for Sasriel to come... At least it shows that he doesn't want to break up with me yet. This may also be an opportunity for me." Rosen looked up at his door, his lips curled up slightly, and he thought to himself:
"I also need a safe enough place to get information about this world and figure out what's happening to me."
He didn't know what he was in the eyes of the Sun God, but Rosen at least knew that this was the safest place in the world before the Sun God decided to take action.
So now there is undoubtedly only one way for Rosen. He needs to express his friendliness and harmlessness, and he also needs to increase his bargaining chips and his mystery.
This is not a contradiction.
…
Before completing the unilateral agreement with Zhou Mingrui to meet tomorrow, Rosen met his cheap brothers at dinner first.
Amon had changed his attire by then, from his obviously makeshift outfit to something more elaborate, the only thing that remained the same was the monocle on his face.
When Rosen arrived at the restaurant, Amon was sitting at the table, seemingly in a daze, or as if bored, repeatedly torturing the meat on the plate with his knife and fork. He stopped what he was doing when he heard Rosen's approaching footsteps. He looked up at Rosen, sneered, and said, "Thief!"
Compared to the later generations' elegant and calm angels who are able to plan and remain calm no matter what happens, Amon at this moment is obviously still a child whose emotions are written on his face.
"Excuse me, you are unique and obviously fit the definition of a thief, don't you?" Hearing this childish accusation, Rosen couldn't help laughing. He sat down slowly in the seat opposite Amon and spoke slowly.
"Swish—clang!!"
A dinner knife came straight towards Rosen's left eye, but Rosen quickly picked up the plate to block it. However, Amon was obviously not a person who would give up. After missing the first attack, he picked up several more dinner knives in his hand.
Seeing that a war was about to break out between the two children, Amon's shadow changed at this moment, as if it had gained consciousness and pressed down Amon's hand that was about to move.
Having poured the juice, Sasriel walked out of the kitchen, still holding a tray in his hand. He slowly placed three glasses of juice in front of the three children, then looked at Amon and Rosen and spoke gently:
"Children, I think it's not polite to fight during a meal. If you really need this, I can arrange a special place for you later. Now, can you eat quietly?"
"I'm sorry, Sasriel, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a brother." Adam said at this moment, with a slightly guilty expression.
Rosen took a sip of the juice, thanked Sasriel, and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't think this is for me to decide."
He had no intention of fighting with the naughty kid. He was not that naive.
"I know, it's not your fault." Sasriel nodded gently and looked at Amon.
"...Next time I'll try a different setting." Amon was silent for a second, then calmed down and took a sip of the juice.
Obviously, Amon still has some respect for Sasriel, the incarnation of his father.
A war was ended without a trace.
Rosen, after taking a few sips of juice, suddenly remembered something and looked at Sasriel curiously, asking, "Are we the only ones having dinner?"
He was very curious about the legendary angel kings.
Upon hearing this, Sasriel spoke gently, "The Lord has something to attend to..." He paused, then met Rosen's gaze and added, "As for the others, you will see them in a while."
Got it, isolation, right?
Rosen understood that under normal circumstances, the Sons of God would definitely meet with the Angel Kings. According to some reliable unofficial historical records, Amon would even be handed over to the care of the Red Angel, making Medici happily earn the title of Red Nanny.
But now with this accident, it is obvious that the Sun God may not intend to let him come into contact with other Angel Kings before ensuring his safety.
I just don't know whether the Sun God is firm in his attitude. Maybe I can find an opportunity to test him... Rosen lowered his eyes, thinking casually. He suddenly glanced at Amon who was eating, and some ideas came to his mind.
However, Rosen was obviously not in a hurry to take action on this matter. He just quietly finished his own dinner.
I have to say that Saslier's cooking skills are excellent and the dinner tasted great.
After eating, Rosen drank a few sips of juice and looked at Sasriel who was cleaning the table. He said, "Sasriel, you said before that you can tell me anything you want, right?"
Sasriel stopped what he was doing, looked at Rosen, and asked gently, "So, Rosen, is there anything you want?"
Chapter 6 How to skip the novice copy directly
Rosen didn't hold back and said bluntly, "I want to learn about the history of this world and understand its current situation..."
Rosen raised his eyes and met Sasriel's gaze, his smile as soft as an angel's:
"May I?"
He was not in a hurry for potion ingredients, nor would he ask the Sun God for them directly at this stage - even if the other party dared to give them, Rosen might not dare to eat them.
But it is necessary for Rosen to understand the situation in the new world. After all, who would want to be blind in a strange world?
Sasriel was silent for a second, then smiled gently and said, "Of course, it's not an unreasonable request."
He then looked at Amon and Adam and said, "I will start offering corresponding courses tomorrow. You can come and study together."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Rosen continued to drink juice with his head down.
Of course, he had to understand everything about this world. After all, the original work was just a book, and it was impossible to describe everything in the world. Even if Rosen knew a general idea about many things, he still needed to understand them personally.
As for whether the Sun God and his companions would provide him with a castrated version of knowledge, Rosen didn't care. Having a castrated version of knowledge was always better than having no knowledge at all, and Rosen was not picky.
…
Learning is not a painful thing for Rosen. In fact, in most cases, Rosen is happy to learn new knowledge, especially the parts that are useful to him.
This made Rosen even more obsessed with studying than his two younger brothers, and he inadvertently led the Sons of God to follow suit.
When Zhou Mingrui's will awakened again in the cotton doll, what he saw was a cub studying hard with a book made of parchment.
Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Mingrui lowered his head to check his current physical condition.
Zhou Mingrui wanted to breathe oxygen.
"Calm down, Xiao Zhou, this isn't your first time traveling through time, so don't be so surprised."
Rosen naturally noticed the cotton doll's movements. He looked up at the cotton doll with a complicated expression, closed the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "Besides, didn't I tell you last time that I would see you tomorrow?"
Zhou Mingrui was silent for a few seconds, probably accepting his fate. Then he couldn't help but complain, "...Is it possible that it's been a week since my last time traveling?"
"Wow!" Rosen exclaimed exaggeratedly, then said with a smile, "It seems the speed of time flowing between us is very different. Only 24 hours have passed here."
Zhou Mingrui looked thoughtful upon hearing this. Then, he thought of something and looked at Rosen with a more serious expression. He asked, "Sir, you said last time that you didn't know what was going on, but you were clearly able to control my time travel..."
"It's not manipulation, it just allows you to go back early." Rosen shook his head, interrupting Zhou Mingrui and smiling, saying, "The carrier you're currently possessing has some connection to me, so I can choose to expel your consciousness early, but I can't control when you'll descend upon it."
After a pause, Rosen looked at Zhou Mingrui and said sincerely, "But I guess you're not in a hurry for me to take you back now?"
Zhou Mingrui was silent. He coughed lightly, but did not deny it. He said, "I'm really not in that hurry to go back."
If he had traveled completely to an unfamiliar era, he would definitely look for a way to return home, but if he was just staying in a different world for a short time like this... As a person who grew up reading various time-travel stories, Zhou Mingrui admitted that he was also curious about the different world.
Rather, who wouldn't be curious in this situation?
But before learning about the other world... Zhou Mingrui thought of something, looked at Rosen, and said tentatively: "Although you should already know, I still want to introduce myself here. I am Zhou Mingrui, what is your name?"
"Rosen, Rosen Nicholas." Rosen didn't intend to keep the topic in suspense and introduced himself promptly. He then looked at Xiao Zhou, who looked immature and didn't look like a mature person, and suddenly asked, "How old are you?"
"Uh, eighteen." Zhou Mingrui paused, a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm just a freshman this year."
He looked at Rosen curiously again. Having taken care of a neighbor's child before, he could tell that the cub was only three or four years old. However, as a senior time traveler, Rosen obviously wouldn't be that age. So Zhou Mingrui asked, "What about you?"
So it really is Xiao Zhou... Rosen raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "Strictly speaking, it should be less than two days."
"Ah?" Zhou Mingrui was obviously stunned.
"No, I'm asking about your age before you traveled through time..." After realizing what Rosen was referring to, Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but ask again.
"That's a secret." Rosen made a confidentiality gesture and, before Zhou Mingrui could ask further questions, he said with a smile, "Compared to these insignificant questions, aren't you curious about what kind of place you traveled to, classmate Zhou?"
Zhou Mingrui's attention was immediately diverted. After all, he was genuinely curious about what kind of place he had traveled to. Although this was his second time traveling through time, he had been in such a hurry the last time that he hadn't learned anything about this world.
Rosen did not keep Zhou Mingrui in suspense and slowly introduced the current situation of the era: the chaotic and dark era of ancient gods has just ended, and everything is in ruins. The era of the sun god has just arrived, and the sprouts of technology have not yet appeared, but the mystery has never been far away. The current era is an era of coexistence of gods and humans, and an era of coexistence of humans and extraordinary races, etc.
Rosen had just learned many of these knowledge points, but that didn't stop him from introducing them to Zhou Mingrui.
Of course, Rosen did not directly reveal the fact that this was the afterlife of Zhou Mingrui's time rather than another world.
"...So this world really has gods and angels, and you are now the child of the Creator?" Even though Zhou Mingrui had already prepared for the existence of extraordinary powers in the other world after knowing that he had traveled through time, he was still shocked at this moment.
After all, novels are novels and reality is reality. For a college student who has believed in materialism for the past 18 years, everything in the Third Age is too advanced, as if he skipped the novice guidance copy and directly faced the truth of the world.
"You can understand it this way." Rosen nodded, but did not give any further detailed explanation. Instead, he suddenly thought of something and asked excitedly, "By the way, do you want to meet my cheap brothers?",Chapter 7 Amon Zhou Mingrui Adam and Rosen
"Ah?" Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, then instinctively frowned and said, "But...how are you going to explain my origins to them? You can't just say I traveled through time, right?"
Although he had revealed his time traveler's identity in front of Rosen in one encounter, Zhou Mingrui still didn't want to reveal the fact that he had traveled through time in front of other people so early.
Even Mr. Fool, who was a sunny and cheerful college student, had a cautious nature.
"Why do you need to explain?" Rosen showed a puzzled expression and looked at Zhou Mingrui and said, "I can just say you're a new friend of mine. As for your background, of course it's confidential!"
A question mark slowly formed in Zhou Mingrui's head. He couldn't help but ask, "But it's impossible for you to have new friends in your situation. You were only born two days ago. This sounds too suspicious..."
"It's okay!" Rosen smiled and patted Zhou Mingrui on the shoulder. "It's certainly suspicious, but your origins are unexplainable anyway. Rather than making up an obvious lie, it's better to just keep it to yourself and let others guess."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen with me here." At the end, Rosen made another assurance. If you ignore the fact that he himself is also a suspicious person, this sentence sounds very reassuring.
At least Zhou Mingrui, who didn't know the inside story, believed it. After all, in his opinion, Rosen was mysterious and powerful, and should be reliable.
In other words, Zhou Mingrui had no choice but to believe. After all, in this strange world, he had no one else to trust.
It was for this reason that Zhou Mingrui, who believed Rosen's lies, was put on Rosen's shoulders. The former happily came to the door of the next room. Then, when Zhou Mingrui was wondering whether he should knock on the door, Rosen raised his foot happily and kicked it hard.
"Boom—"
Zhou Mingrui:?
No, man, what are you doing?!
"Boom—"
The door was undoubtedly kicked open. Amon, who was studying inside, looked up at Rosen and said through gritted teeth, "Rosen, are you sick?"
"Don't be so harsh, Amon. Can't I just come here to care about you?" Rosen said with a smile. If you ask him why he kicked the door like that, of course it was to avenge the knife that was thrown at him at the dining table.
No one really thinks that Rosen doesn't hold grudges, right?
"Ha!" Amon sneered. He raised his hand and pinched the monocle on his face. He looked at Rosen and said, "Don't use this kind of low-level fraud on me. It's too fake."
Now He looks a bit like the angel in the original book.
Rosen sensed something, and his monocle flashed. He then raised his hand and pressed Zhou Mingrui, who had been nearly robbed, before looking at Amon and saying, "Don't just steal my brother's things, Amon, have you forgotten?"
Amon didn't feel guilty about being caught stealing. Instead, he said as a matter of course, "As a thief, of course whoever steals it gets it. And it was obviously you who stole my things first."
Apparently, Amon was quite bothered by the issue of uniqueness.
"Yeah, you also said that whoever steals it first gets it." Rosen showed a happy smile, and while speaking, he pinched the monocle on his face very casually.
After Amon's fist hardened, Rosen added leisurely:
"I don't mind fighting with you again."
Rosen doesn't mind having someone volunteer to practice with him. It's a good thing to be familiar with the power of uniqueness.
"If you must fight, perhaps you can allow me to act as an arbitrator?" Adam, who appeared out of nowhere, spoke suddenly. The eldest son of God was obviously helpless in the face of the tit-for-tat between his two younger brothers, but he had no intention of stopping them.
Mainly, Adam was somewhat accustomed to it. In the past 24 hours, his two brothers had already clashed with each other countless times.
To put it more bluntly, he has become numb. As long as the two sides don't cause any major accidents, he can completely accept minor quarrels.
Maybe this is how mythical creatures communicate their feelings?
Adam couldn't help but have such thoughts when he thought about the stories about the descendants of the ancient gods in the Second Age that he had learned today.
"Children, perhaps you remember that this is a corridor, not an arena?" Another voice rang out. Sasriel, who had been in the study, stepped out from the shadows. He reached out and touched the tops of the two cubs' heads. He first looked at Amon and said,
"Amon, don't always provoke Rosen. A qualified thief is not the same as a reckless man."
Then Sasriel looked at Rosen again, paused, and then smiled gently, "If you really want someone to fight with you, I can be your sparring partner."
"I'm looking forward to it." Rosen was really looking forward to it.
Although Amon was fun to beat, he was still young and a rookie after all, and was suppressed by the power of uniqueness. Relatively speaking, he could not compare to the help of an Angel King who was truly good at fighting.
"...Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you how to fight," Sasriel said, his gaze landing on Rosen's shoulder. Although his eyes were filled with inquiry, he remained calm and asked, "Rather than that, Rosen, perhaps you wouldn't mind introducing us to your new friend?"
"This is my new friend..." Rosen introduced him calmly, "You can call him Klein. His background remains secret for now."
Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then realized that Klein was the local name Rosen had given him to follow local customs. Quickly reacting, he met Sasriel's gaze and nodded, saying, "Hello!"
"Hello, Mr. Klein." Sasriel smiled as he looked at the palm-sized cotton doll on Rosen's shoulder. He seemed to have no intention of asking about the other party's origins. He just said:
"Is there anything I can help you with? Don't be so reserved. Since you're Rosen's friend, you can treat this place as your own home."
Zhou Mingrui probably didn't expect the other party to be so friendly. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Saslier, but I don't need any help."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you kids' entertainment here, but if you need anything, please be sure to come to me. I'm in the study." Sasriel glanced at Zhou Mingrui and said nothing more. He disappeared into the shadows just as he came.
No one knows whether He is still watching this place through the shadows.
Anyway, without the parents' suppression, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed a little.
Amon glanced at Zhou Mingrui, his eyes both scrutinizing and critical. He then looked at Rosen and said with a smile, "You have terrible taste in choosing friends. You even fancy a weakling like this."
Chapter 8 Terrible Adam
"I think whether a person is a qualified friend has nothing to do with his strength, and..." Rosen didn't indulge the naughty child at all. He smiled and said, "It's better than you having no friends at all, isn't it?"
Amon was choked. The naughty boy originally didn't care whether he had friends or not, but since ancient times, the problem is not the lack of friends but the inequality. He had no friends, but Rosen had a new friend. This made Amon a little psychologically unbalanced, and he felt like he was being compared to others.
I need a new friend too… Amon thought so, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the fourth person present, Adam, who usually melted into the air. Before he could speak, he heard Rosen say:
"Adam is our brother. You wouldn't treat him as a friend, would you?"
Amon: ...
Amon gritted his teeth. 'He' suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Rosen and said, "Of course I will have new friends, new friends who are stronger and better than your friends."
"I'm looking forward to it." Rosen smiled back. This time it wasn't purely a provocation, but he really expected Amon to do something.
The Sun God now obviously wants to isolate him from the other Angel Kings. Rosen himself cannot do anything at this juncture, so of course he can only drive the Sun God's favorite cub to do this.
So go ahead, Amon. I'm really looking forward to what kind of friend you can bring back... Rosen thought to himself, and then he realized that Zhou Mingrui was looking at him with an indescribable expression. He couldn't help but look over innocently: "What's wrong?"
"...Nothing." Zhou Mingrui shook his head. He couldn't just say "Brother, you are really a bit childish". He could only wonder in his heart whether traveling through time and space as a cub would really cause regression in his mental age.
"They are so childish. Sorry to have embarrassed you." A slightly childish voice sounded nearby. Adam, who had appeared beside Rosen out of nowhere, looked at the cotton doll with golden eyes and said with a gentle smile, "Hello, I'm Adam, Rosen's brother."
"Hello, Adam..." Zhou Mingrui almost blurted out the word "little boy", but fortunately he held it back in time. He looked at Adam in front of him, who was not much older than Rosen but extremely calm, and then glanced at his friend who was competing with Amon, and sincerely felt the gap between people.
"I didn't expect that Rosen would have a new friend so soon, and in... this form. Are you an extraordinary person of an alien path?" Adam asked curiously, with a well-disguised inquiry in the depths of his eyes.
In this world, extraordinary people of different paths can possess their own will in a doll.
What is a xenogeneic pathway?
Zhou Mingrui, who had only heard Rosen's introduction to the general worldview but still had no idea what the 22 Divine Paths were, was stunned for half a second. Then he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Sorry, I promised Rosen to keep it a secret."
"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous. I hope you don't mind." Adam didn't seem disappointed. Instead, he gave a slightly apologetic smile.
"It's okay." Zhou Mingrui also showed an impeccable smile. After the two chatted for a few more words, Zhou Mingrui found a reason to end the conversation and poked Rosen with his soft cotton arm.
This brought Rosen, who was taunting Amon, back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong, Klein?"
"Didn't you say before that you would take me for a walk here?" Zhou Mingrui blinked and stated a fact that did not exist.
Rosen raised his eyebrows, glanced at Adam who was smiling beside him, and said, "Sorry, I almost forgot."
Rosen then looked at Adam and said, "Brother, I'll take my friends around the house. You take good care of Amon."
After saying this, without waiting for Adam's response, Rosen took Zhou Mingrui and ran away.
Adam watched them go away before he stopped smiling and frowned slightly.
"Why, do you also think that guy named Klein is suspicious?" Amon's voice suddenly rang out at this moment. Having lost the argument, the Son of God, who was very angry, looked at his brother and said with a smile:
"But I suggest you don't get involved in this matter. Rosen obviously doesn't want you to meddle in his affairs anyway, so just let him be. It won't be you or me who will suffer anyway."
"...Amon, that's our brother." Adam was obviously helpless about Amon's attitude of "let him die".
"...Ha." Amon sneered, without commenting. He suddenly raised his hand to push up his monocle and said, "Whatever you say. I'm going to go find my new friend anyway."
"Sasriel said that we'd better not leave the palace casually." Adam showed a disapproving look.
"So I didn't leave casually. How can I leave casually just to find new friends?" Amon said this, obviously not caring about what Adam thought. His figure disappeared in the corridor, and it seemed that he went to find new friends.
Adam couldn't help but raise his hand and press his temple when he saw this. As an older brother, he should take good care of his two younger brothers, but in fact, both Amon and Rosen were really difficult to deal with.
Perhaps after several years, when the eldest son of God has fully grown up, he will be able to suppress his two younger brothers, but it is obvious that he cannot suppress them now.
…
"Don't you like Adam?" Rosen slowed down his pace after leaving Adam's sight. He took the cotton doll off his shoulder, put it on his forearm, and asked curiously.
"Your brother... is a bit scary." Zhou Mingrui's expression was hard to describe. He touched the non-existent goose bumps on his body and said:
"I don't know why, but when I talk to Him, I always feel like I'm being seen through, and several times I almost told Him the truth."
"It's normal. After all, he is an audience member." Rosen was not surprised by this. Although he was arguing with Amon before, he was not completely unconcerned about the situation on Zhou Mingrui's side. Naturally, he knew that Adam was deliberately asking questions to Xiao Zhou.
Of course, Adam didn't really use his extraordinary ability, otherwise ordinary person Xiao Zhou would obviously not be able to withstand it.
"Audience?" Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and asked tentatively, "Is it similar to some alien path?"
"You're quite clever, Xiao Zhou." Rosen smiled and without keeping anyone in suspense, he introduced the extraordinary ways of this world in a straightforward manner.
There are 22 divine paths in this world, which are also the only relatively safe ways for mortals to obtain extraordinary abilities. Although this safety should be put in quotation marks, at least the extraordinary path is indeed safer than praying for power from foreign gods.
Alien and Audience are undoubtedly the names of two of the twenty-two paths of God. The Alien Path is just as its name suggests. Mortals who step into this path can gain non-human powers as they continue to advance, such as turning into werewolves, resentful spirits, etc.
The audience approach does not have as much direct violence as the alien. In the early stage, it focuses on the psychological and spiritual aspects, and mainly changes other people's ideas silently. In the later stage, it is more dangerous. Not only has the force value increased, the mental danger has not decreased, and it also has cheating skills that make fantasy come true.
Chapter 9 Amon's Good Friend
"By the way, don't say bad things about Adam in your heart. He has the ability to make everyone know what he says. Although someone like me can rely on the power of uniqueness to avoid being perceived, as an ordinary person, you obviously can't do that." After roughly introducing the situation of the audience's passage, Rosen thought of something and added slowly.
"I didn't say anything bad about Him, but... isn't this a bit too much of a cheat?" Zhou Mingrui's expression was obviously complicated. He glanced at Rosen and said quietly, "So, is there anyone who can respect my privacy?"
Zhou Mingrui did not forget that Rosen also had the ability to perceive his thoughts, although there were limitations.
"It can't be helped. This is how the world is. People who aren't strong enough have no privacy." Rosen spread his hands, his attitude very calm. He even comforted Zhou Mingrui, saying, "You'll get used to it."
"How can I possibly get used to this kind of thing..." Zhou Mingrui couldn't help but complain, then sighed and said, "I always feel like this journey through another world is completely different from what I imagined. Normally, shouldn't we do two novice dungeons first?"
How could a time traveler come into contact with the world's top powerful people right from the start?
"After all, novels require logic, but reality doesn't!" Rosen thought so, patted Zhou Mingrui's shoulder to show his comfort, and said, "Compared to all this, aren't you curious about whether you can become a Beyonder?"
"Ah? Me?" Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment. He looked down at his current cotton-doll body and looked at Rosen with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"No one has ever stipulated that a cotton doll can't become an extraordinary person!" Rosen was very calm, and looked at Zhou Mingrui with curiosity.
Zhou Mingrui hesitated for a moment and said, "I think this matter needs further consideration."
Although he also yearned for extraordinary abilities, Zhou Mingrui was still unsure what the so-called magic potion was and whether it was dangerous. Secondly, given his current condition, drinking the magic potion was a bit foolish.
He is just a cotton doll!
"Okay, I respect your opinion." Although Rosen felt a little sorry, he really didn't intend to force Zhou Mingrui to do the experiment. He then thought of something and looked at Zhou Mingrui with a smile.
"By the way, to prevent your identity from being exposed, I'll call you Klein from now on! Or do you have any other pseudonyms you'd like?"
Zhou Mingrui was silent for a few seconds, and various names flashed through his mind, but they were basically familiar names, such as Sherlock, Hermann, etc.
After a few seconds, Zhou Mingrui had to admit with some frustration that he might be bad at naming.
But Klein wasn't much better, what Scarecrow... Zhou Mingrui complained in his heart. He had seen the Batman cartoon, so of course he knew that the Scarecrow's name was Jonathan Klein. Although this Klein should not be that Klein, they sounded similar.
But it was just a pseudonym used in another world, so Zhou Mingrui didn't mind. He nodded and said, "Let's call it this. At least the name Klein is easy to pronounce."
"Okay, then I'll call you Klein from now on." Rosen nodded with a smile, secretly making a "yeah" gesture in his heart.
Yay, achievement achieved, naming Mr. Fool!
Zhou Mingrui... Of course, now in the Third Age, he should be called Klein, and he did not stay in the Third Age for too long.
In fact, after Rosen enthusiastically took Klein around the palace, Klein felt a slight headache.
According to the on-site diagnosis by the "miracle doctor" Rosen, Klein's headache was caused by a lack of spiritual energy - that's right, Klein's consciousness possessing the cotton doll also required the consumption of spiritual energy. Although the digestion was not a big problem, as an ordinary person, his spiritual energy was obviously not abundant.
Although Rosen felt a little regretful about this, he still let Klein return to the old times to recover. He himself fell into the ocean of knowledge and continued to absorb the knowledge of this era.
until--
"Boom!!!"
The familiar sound of kicking the door was as familiar as a one-to-one replica of what happened not long ago. Rosen raised his eyebrows, looked up from the sea of books, and as expected, saw a little kid.
A certain little kid who obviously held a grudge was standing in front of the door, even deliberately maintaining the posture of kicking the door. After he looked over, Amon calmly withdrew his foot, raised his hand to pinch the monocle on his face, and said with a smile:
"Good morning, Rosen. Since you didn't come for breakfast, I thought you were dead, so I wanted to check on you. After all, we're brothers, so I have to collect your body."
The moment he opened his mouth he was an old Yin-Yang master. Compared with before, it seemed as if he had gone to another place for further training.
Rosen didn't show any anger. He slowly closed the book on his knees, but his eyes passed over Amon and looked at the man behind Amon.
That's right, Amon didn't come alone. Behind him stood a very handsome red-haired man who looked to be in his early 20s.
The man was very tall, at least two meters tall. He was leaning lazily against the wall with a lit cigarette in his hand. Although he didn't say a word, his aura made people feel instinctively dangerous, like a sword that had not been unsheathed.
When Rosen looked over, the red-haired man also looked over as if he had sensed something, his red eyes scrutinizing but not wary.
Obviously, the other side did not classify Rosen as an enemy that needed to be vigilant.
Rosen curled his lips. Of course he guessed who the other person was. Such obvious characteristics could only be found in the Angel King who represented the path of war. He was still loyal to the Sun God and would never betray him before being backstabbed by Adam. He was almost the truest portrayal of the saying "hunters die for loyalty", the Red Angel Medici.
Of course, the above is a more formal introduction. In fact, Rosen prefers to call the other party the Red Maid or the Hot Pot Angel.
"What's with that look on your face, little brat?"
Perhaps it was because Rosen's eyes were too unconcealed, Medici, who was originally observing him, raised his eyebrows, curled up the corners of his mouth, and smiled a little bit badly. His tone was very unfriendly, but there was no real malice. It was obvious that he was just trying to scare people.
"The way you look at the red maid?" Rosen asked very honestly. He knew that what he said was a bit suicidal, but he couldn't help it.
After all, who can resist the other party calling Xiaohong the Red Maid?
At least at this moment, Rosen felt very happy as he looked at Medici's stunned expression.
"I've told you long ago that this guy is an infuriating fellow." Amon spoke at this moment. He looked at Medici and said, "So, are you interested in beating him up with me now?"
Medici laughed upon hearing this. He glanced at Rosen, then his gaze returned to Amon. He said lazily, "Son of God, what gave you the illusion that I would become your sword? I simply wanted to come with you to see the other Son of God you mentioned."
Chapter 10: Traveling Through the Fourth Age
Although he called him "Sir", Medici's address clearly did not contain any respect, and instead seemed a bit sarcastic.
Amon's hand, which was originally holding the monocle, paused.
Rosen laughed unceremoniously. He looked at Amon and said slowly, "Amon, it seems that your good friend doesn't have a good relationship with you this time!"
Amon gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he couldn't refute Rosen.
To ask why Medici appeared here, it can be traced back to yesterday. After being stimulated by Rosen's "good friend", Amon vowed to find a "good friend" as well, and quietly slipped out of the Son of God's daily activities, wanting to find a good friend.
Coincidentally, Medici happened to be wandering around here recently. As the Red Angel, he was originally the person chosen by the Sun God to take care of his son Amon after his birth. Therefore, he received the notice early and was waiting to take care of the cub.
But who knew that things would change at the last minute. Medici, who had already prepared to take care of the Son of God, was suddenly informed that he didn't need to take care of the cub. This undoubtedly greatly aroused the Red Angel's curiosity about the newly born Son of God.
However, Xiaohong was a down-to-earth person. Since the Sun God had ordered that he was not allowed to enter the palace, Medici did not really sneak into the palace. He would only occasionally come to take a look around out of curiosity.
So Amon, who was out capturing his friend, unexpectedly met Medici, who was waiting to capture the Son of God. With the tacit approval and let-off of a certain Sasriel, the two hit it off after exchanging information and decided to find Rosen.
Of course, Amon was looking for trouble with Rosen, while Medici was more out of curiosity.
His intuition told him that perhaps the cancellation of the Sun God's original plan was related to this Son of God, Rosen.
So that's what happened just now.
"My two Lords, let's stop this farce. I have something else to do, so I won't delay your studies." Medici watched Amon and Rosen arguing with each other again. After listening with great interest for a while, he suddenly spoke out of the blue.
This was not a lie. Although he entered the palace out of curiosity and with Sasriel's tacit consent and met the Sons of God, Medici, having satisfied his curiosity, did not plan to stay long. In fact, he was already ready to apologize to the Sun God.
Even with the tacit consent of another lord, breaking into the palace was not allowed in the first place.
"Wait..." Rosen, who habitually spoke sarcastically to Amon, saw that the red angel that had finally been refreshed was about to run away, so he hurriedly called out to the other party. At the same time, he subconsciously rummaged in his pocket and quickly grabbed the red angel keychain.
Although the activation of the peripherals may not be related to the person himself, at least from the current point of view, the monocle and the cotton doll do have a great connection with their corresponding existence. From this point of view, if the keychain wants to be activated, it may also be closely related to Medici himself.
If you don't call the other person now, what if he doesn't come later?
"Is there something wrong?" Medici paused and turned to look at Rosen and asked.
"I think we should at least tell each other our names." As Rosen spoke, he squeezed his hands a little harder, because at this moment he felt that the keychain in his hand had indeed changed.
Seems to be getting hot?
Could this thing turn into some kind of flame?
While Rosen was making wild guesses, he introduced himself: "I am Rosen Nicholas. Although you probably already know about my existence from Amon, I still have to say that it is all slander."
"Tsk! With all due respect, I don't think what happened a few seconds ago is entirely slanderous." Medici sneered, paused, then curled his lips into a flamboyant smile. "Medici, you can also call me the Red Angel."
"Got it, Xiaohong!" Rosen nodded seriously, and as the owner of the surrounding area, he confirmed one thing.
——The Red Angel Keychain has been activated!
The next second, time and space seemed to stop at this moment. Rosen saw a door, and his intuition told him that the existence in his hand could open this door.
Rosen lowered his head and found that there was an extra key on the keychain in his hand. The key was in a strange translucent state, with a number 4 engraved on the very end.
Rosen fell into thought.
Reason told him that he should be cautious before figuring out what this thing is used for. However, his eager desire to commit suicide told him that a door was right in front of him. If he didn't open it, would he still be a human being?
Three seconds later, Rosen raised his hand and inserted the key into the lock on the door.
With a "click", the dazzling light engulfed him at this moment, and Rosen's consciousness became blurred. In the last second before he lost consciousness, he did not feel guilty about committing suicide. Instead, he was looking forward to what he would see after waking up.
…
"Wake up! Little brat, wake up, what are you doing to us?"
Accompanied by a strange yet somewhat familiar voice, Rosen felt as if someone was pulling his face, which made him dissatisfied and raised his hand to slap the other person away. After opening his eyes, he saw a familiar face - the Red Angel Medici.
To be honest, Rosen was not surprised at this moment. After all, it was normal to see the Red Angel after the keychain related to the Red Angel was triggered.
Rosen simply raised his hand again and slapped away the other person's hand that was trying to pinch his face, then got up from the ground. Only then did he realize that they seemed to be in some desolate wilderness. At the same time, a piece of information appeared in Rosen's mind, making him silent for a moment.
"...Looks like you do know where this is!" Medici, who had been sitting on the ground to take care of the cub, stood up, brushed off the dust on himself, glanced at Rosen, and suddenly said, "Would you mind introducing me?"
"...Do you really need an introduction?" Rosen came back to his senses, looked at Medici, and suddenly laughed. "I don't think you did nothing while I was unconscious."
"Tsk!" Medici tsks, seeming a little impatient. He looks in a certain direction, his eyes a little obscure as he says, "I did do some things, but they're not enough for me to determine where this is."
Rosen continued to smile. He looked in the same direction, but without any hesitation, he squeezed the keychain in his pocket and said, "This is the future. Simply put, we have traveled through time and space and arrived in the future world."
That's right, the key engraved with the number four opened the door to the Fourth Era of the Lord of Mysteries' world. Although Rosen couldn't understand why a keychain related to the Red Angel would have such an effect, maybe it was because it was a keychain?
But no matter what, it is a fact that they have now traveled through time and space.
