Chapter 409: All Histories (Please subscribe to the full chapter!)
September 7, Tuesday.
For once, Aaron put on a formal suit and walked out of his room.
The landlady, Adai Le, had already prepared breakfast, with the latest newspaper laid out beside it.
She looked at the top hat and cane at Aaron's side, her expression slightly surprised: "Jack, are you finally going to start doing some real work?"
Formal suits are generally used for formal visits and on certain public occasions.
The casual clothes Aaron wore before were quite sloppy.
"Going to see a friend." Aaron picked up the newspaper and offered an explanation.
Aaron looked away, placed the newspaper on the table, and put on his hat: "I should be heading out..."
Aaron nodded, pretending to reach into his bosom, but in reality, he was taking a test tube out of the 'Jiade's Treasure Box'.
Masei's voice could not hide his excitement: "I received the Divine Oracle earlier... I didn't expect the God's Messenger to arrive only now. According to the orders of our great Lord, we must fully cooperate with all actions of the God's Messenger."
And Masei was becoming more and more agitated as he spoke: "Based on long-term field investigations, research, and data synthesis... I believe the period of the 'Stellar Convergence' in the eyes of the natives is approaching. In other words—the 'Gate of Multiple Histories' is about to be reopened!"
"History is a vast, surging river, and the influence and interference of certain major events are the key nodes in that river! If these major historical events head in different directions and achieve different endings, then history will also enter a fork in the road, forming different tributaries—this is the concept of 'All Histories'."
"Mr. Kesaini, my master has been waiting for a long time."
In the newspaper, an entire page was dedicated to reporting on this military operation by the Governor's Mansion against the Resistance Army.
"Is this Mr. Jieke Kesaini?"
However, since the token was real, he began to explain: "To explain what the 'Gate of Multiple Histories' is, one must first explain the concept of 'All Histories'... The Fourth Primordial Substance of the path of pure 'Mystery' is called 'Expert of All Histories'! They are the people who study 'All Histories'!"
Pleasant leisure time is always short; he had already begun preparing to make up some excuse to move out.
Masei stood up, thought for a moment, and answered solemnly: "Our society mainly develops among archaeologists and history enthusiasts. Ever since I unlocked the Fourth Primordial Substance and became an Extraordinary, I have been dedicated to developing the Cult, exploring ancient ruins, and summarizing the secret historical knowledge of the New Continent... Currently, we have a total of 37 members: 1 of the Fourth Primordial Substance, 8 of the Third Primordial Substance..."
This man was named Marcel Quinn, a well-known archaeologist who enjoyed a great reputation in the New Continent.
Madam Adai Le patted her ample chest, causing the curves to tremble.
The rented carriage moved slowly forward and stopped in front of a two-story villa.
Masei invited Aaron into the study, had the butler bring coffee, and then closed the door.
In the end, he still knelt respectfully on the ground: "Praise the Guardian of Secret History, the inheritor of ancient civilizations, the great Motula!"
The landlady covered her mouth and chuckled, her expression full of charm.
After all, in this world, Aaron had not yet become truly invincible, and he did not want to be contaminated by an Evil God one day and have his own bloodline used to divine against him in reverse.
Aaron also wore a smile, warmly shaking hands and hugging the other party...
Masei looked at Aaron strangely; if it weren't for the fact that Motula's aura and will were genuine, he would have thought this 'God's Messenger' was a fraud.
Aaron was well aware of this and muttered to himself.
'The Ninth Sephira—【Imprint】, not only can it carve marks within the Spirit World, but its Influence on Extraordinarys of the lower sequences of this path is truly terrifying enough.'
Aaron held his cane and arrived at the garden gate in front of the villa.
Aaron arrived at the entrance and was welcomed by the butler with a bow.
"It is me."
"It is claimed... that these strongholds belong to the 'Kumar Faction' within the Resistance Army!"
"This... this..."
Masei adjusted his glasses, his face trembling, wearing an expression of disbelief.
Led by the old butler, Aaron walked into the villa and saw a man in his fifties with a formal suit, brown curly hair, and tortoiseshell glasses, possessing a scholarly temperament, waiting in the living room.
Today was the day he was meeting with the 'Studies of History Society'.
"Wait... what is a 'Gate of Multiple Histories'?" Aaron asked because he didn't know; there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
"As you command, God's Messenger!"
'Motula let you explore the secret history of the New Continent, actually to track the traces of the 'Keeper of Secrets'... Of course, you don't need to know these things.'
Well, because of the reverse application of 'Red' Spirituality, he could control himself to prevent women from bearing offspring.
Of course, the other party's secret identity was a member of the 'Studies of History Society', specifically responsible for intelligence and news in the New Continent.
"That's good... Since you arrived here, you haven't found a proper job, nor do you look like you're here for tourism; it's more like you're here specifically for pleasure."
"Welcome, Jack!"
Seeing Aaron, the man's face revealed a joyful expression, as if he were seeing a close nephew.
Inside the test tube, a wisp of cobalt-blue mist was permeating.
Looking at Masei, who had turned into a fanatical believer, Aaron said calmly: "Get up, and tell me about your strength here."
A butler in a tailcoat was waiting at the door with male and female servants.
"Good day, Uncle Masei!"
He lifted his glasses, and immediately a Spirit Wall was released, isolating the inside from the outside.
Aaron sipped his hot cocoa and began to finish today's breakfast.
This was also the reason why he had no descendants left behind when he was a Count a thousand years ago.
He ate a few bites and was full, then began to read the newspaper.
"For example, in one history, perhaps Invis did not colonize South Innis, so the villa we are in might be some native's thatched hut, or it could be a wasteland... And I might not be an archaeologist, but just an ordinary worker, or a farmer..."
Aaron drank his hot cocoa while reading the newspaper: "Aren't these the people who attacked the Governor's Mansion?"
【Governor Mai Kao Er has destroyed multiple strongholds of the Resistance Army, achieving yet another glorious victory!】
Masei turned around, his sharp eyes behind his glasses carrying a hint of scrutiny: "Although I have verified some things before, I still want to confirm your identity one last time!"
"Yeah, Governor Mai Kao Er is still doing a good job; the time when the Governor's Mansion was bombed before scared me to death."
"The changes of 'All Histories' can only be observed by an 'Expert of All Histories'... In different histories, every place may have different buildings, and every person may have a different ending."
As a spice-producing region, the price of spices in the South Innis colony is more than ten times cheaper than in Invis; therefore, the local culinary style is very heavy-handed, with spices sprinkled recklessly as if they cost nothing, and large amounts of white sugar added as well.
"Come, let us go to the study to talk properly; I also do not know how your father and Ma Li are doing now."
"Oh, like the parallel worlds in some fantasy novels?" Aaron said with a sudden realization.
"How could history be such a shallow thing? The interference and branching of history involve the Mysterious, information states, and even the shifting of Dimensions... that kind of description... how should I put it?" Masei scratched his head in frustration, and finally spread his hands helplessly: "Fine... it is parallel worlds!"
