Lord of Mysteries:Dream

Chapter 194: Zarath

On September 18th, the Baron's wife is truly a beauty..."

Russell wrote this line in his diary, his eyes wandering as if he was remembering that night of ecstasy.

"But this is the last time, absolutely the last time!"

"I just became a Sequence 6 'mechanical expert' a few days ago. This is already a top-notch position in the entire edge town, and my status is comparable to that of a baron."

"But do I need to dominate one side? What I want is this world!"

"I can't continue to fall. I need to go to a bigger stage, to the capital of Solomon, where there will be more room for improvement."

"Moreover, I also learned from the church that the corrupt lives of the empire's high-ranking nobles are even worse than those of the Baron family! I'm really...envious."

Russell closed the diary, briefly packed his clothes, and walked out of his house.

After two or three years of hard work, he is now a Sequence Six "Mechanical Expert" of the "General Knowledge" path. This sequence was called "Craftsman" in ancient times.

This has already surpassed the "artisan" church bishop of his small marginal town, and has the opportunity to become a middle-level and high-level church leader.

This was also the reason for Russell to dare to venture into the Imperial Capital. Sequence Six could be considered a figure in the mixed-race place of the Imperial Capital.

"Let's go! The church's mechanical boat is here." Russell looked at the home where he had lived for two years, said hello to his parents in this life, came to the river, and boarded the mechanical boat prepared by the church.

The technology in the "Artisan" church is hundreds of years faster than what ordinary people can see, but the power sources in these mechanical ships and mechanical vehicles are extraordinary items and are not suitable for widespread use.

"I am already a 'mechanical expert'. After going to the church in the imperial capital, I will also start to create my scientific research genius character."

"Fortunately, the steam engines in the entire world are still in their initial stages. I can make improvements, and the sailboats must be made quickly, otherwise they will be destroyed by the lunatics from the Dream Sect."

Russell was full of ambition.

"Long time no see, Mr. Russell." While Russell was admiring the scenery along the coast, an old man wearing a black robe, with dark eyes and a long, thick white beard around his mouth appeared next to him.

"Mr. Zaratul?" Russell was surprised to see an old friend from the occult.

He and Zaratul met during a mystical exchange, and then maintained a certain degree of contact with each other on the premise that both parties had some concerns, and became "friends who have been together forever" on the surface.

"Are you going back to the Imperial Capital?" Russell asked curiously.

This ship was carrying some extraordinary people and nobles who wanted to go to the imperial capital.

"Yes, I haven't gone back to my family for a long time."

Probably hundreds or thousands of years old.

Although the "half-fool" of Antigonus has retreated to the Hornacis Mountains, the hunt in the Fourth Age frightened little Zaratul, causing him to hide around and not dare to return to the imperial capital. .

"Zarath..." Russell thought about this surname in his heart. This is a real duke family in the Solomon Empire and is extremely noble.

In his mind, this old gentleman must have come from this prominent ducal family.

"To be able to reach Sequence Six in three years, you are more talented than I thought." Zaratul looked at Russell and praised.

"Thanks to the old gentleman for the tip. If it weren't for you, it might take me some time to fully understand the acting method." Russell was very proud, but he still had to be modest.

"I just mentioned acting, and you already understood that this is your own talent." Zaratul looked at Russell with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to see something.

Russell felt uncomfortable for a moment, but his expression remained as usual. He was very skilled in dealing with this kind of old monster.

"It's a pity that you chose the 'General Knowledge'. This path is safe enough in the early stage, but it will definitely face many difficulties and dangers in the future." Zaratul said.

"Oh?" Russell raised his eyebrows, wanting to find out more, but this knowledge itself was of great value, and there was no such generous person.

"The sequence pathway hides more secrets than you think." Zaratul pointed out, seeming to be waiting for Russell's question.

Is this old man trying to seduce me... Russell suddenly had a change of thought and asked curiously, "Which path did the old gentleman take? Please forgive my offense, I'm really curious."

"My sequence nine is 'divineer'." Zaratul said nonchalantly.

What a "divineer"... What Russell was thinking about at the moment was the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics.

He believed that it was his "ability" that aroused Zaratul's interest.

As for the silver medal?

That's impossible. Until now, no one can even see it except him, and all divination methods have failed in front of it.

Russell curled up his lips and taunted, "Do all 'diviners' only speak half of their words? It's easy to get beaten like this."

"Oh, only in this way can I arouse your curiosity and make you willing to cooperate with me." Zaratul chuckled, directly clarifying his purpose.

"Cooperation?" Russell's eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts turning quickly, "What do you want me to do for you?"

"You are still far behind now." Zaratul looked at Russell with deep eyes, "What I am optimistic about is your future."

"You will definitely become a big shot in the extraordinary world in the future, and I don't mind investing first."

Russell's inspiration was slightly touched, and he felt the silver medal on his chest was slightly touched. It was the "divineer's" peek into destiny!

After becoming a Sequence Nine "generalist", the Sequence Nine abilities he chose from the silver medal were "Divination", "Opening the Door" and "Stealing".

These three abilities are the most typical and are the foundation of the three related paths he knows.

At that moment, Zaratul performed a divination about the future for him, and he might even have seen some scenes in the future!

"I don't mind cooperating with the old gentleman. After all, the first time I saw the old gentleman, I felt very familiar. He looked very much like my grandfather who had never been masked before."

Russell opened his mouth to come, and as the two foxes, big and small, tested each other, their relationship became closer and closer.

"Then what do you think I should do after arriving in the imperial capital?"

Russell was trying to test Zarath's tone.

"I feel that the Antigonus family is a good entry point to make good friends with the children of the family."

The Antigonus family is another ducal family!

But I heard that the Antigonus family in the imperial capital is now a "branch", and the most important personnel have moved to the "headquarters" in the Honakis Mountains.

Moreover, the Antigonus family and the Zaratul family seem to be a bit difficult to deal with...

Gan! Even before he arrived in the imperial capital, he was already involved in a fight between a large noble family!
