Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 315: Stiff "Arrangement" but "Efficient"

"What's the point of this?"

When Star learned that the coordinates of the original island that should not have been known to Edwina were known to Edwina, his first reaction was:
What the hell is Adam doing?

It's a pity that "The Hanged Man" Alger is not here, otherwise it would be very interesting to tell him that the coordinates of the island that you treasured so much were given away by Adam.

However, Stario was a little hesitant:

Normally, it is impossible to know the meaning behind the island coordinates when you see them for the first time.

So if it was really His arrangement, perhaps he should comply a little?
After all, if his own life is not in danger, Adam might take action without leaving any trace if he encounters a situation that threatens his safety on that primitive island.

In other words, when the "dice divination method" instructed him to go to that island, even if Star's ultimate goal would inevitably confront Adam, it would be best to go to that island first.

Could there be a turning point in things?
At this moment, Star suddenly began to doubt whether the vague instructions of "dice divination" had any limitations, and then he was relieved:

Perhaps this also means that no matter which method Star uses, as long as he is still at sea, Adam will eventually send him to this island?

At the Tarot Club, the "Hanged Man" used the coordinates of the original island to pay off his debt as a reward for hunting down Qilingos. Was this also arranged by Adam without leaving any trace?
In this way, when the "Angel King" of the "audience" channel is determined to weave such a script, it is difficult for Star to escape His arrangement.

Why not just follow Him from the beginning? Even if you don't follow the direction of the "dice roll", you will be pushed to the node of destiny by various "coincidences".

It would be better to take the initiative to deal with His arrangements...

Star analyzed the reason behind the "roll the dice" instruction and noticed a problem:
No, if this matter is related to Adam, then it would go against my purpose of obtaining uniqueness.

You know, he went to sea for two things in the beginning:

One is the "probability dice" that represents the uniqueness of the path of "destiny".

The second is the “artificial god of death” who represents the uniqueness of the path of “death”.

Originally, when Star pointed the direction of the "dice divination" at Danitz and the "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina behind him, he actually didn't think about the important item of the "audience" path "Groselle's Travels" held by "Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina.

Instead, he thought of the original development. When “German” first arrived at the sea, he got in touch with Danitz because of the most famous legend circulating on the sea:

"Key of Death": It is rumored that at the end of the Fourth Epoch, the Death who caused the Pale Disaster was killed by the Seven Gods, but he did not die on the spot. He tried to return to the Southern Continent. He stirred up violent waves and created insurmountable obstacles, completely cutting off the shipping routes between the North and South continents. This is the origin legend of the Violent Sea. However, he did not return to the Southern Continent in the end and disappeared in that ocean.

It is said that in a secret place in the Raging Sea, the treasure left by the god of death is waiting for someone with a specific key to find and open it, but no one knows what the key looks like or where it will appear.

It was not until "Vice Admiral Iceberg" led the "Golden Dream" expedition that they found a shipwreck. Although they did not gain anything valuable, they found a huge black iron key that was not used by humans.

It has not rusted even after lying on the seabed for many years.

In fact, this is a key related to the Giant King's Court, which is the area separated from the Sonia Sea and the God-Forsaken Land.

But there might be a traitor among their members, and the news spread out. Countless pirates believed that this was the key of the god of death, the key that could open the treasure left behind by the god of death.

Danitz thought that this issue would be clarified soon, and happily applied for leave. As a result, things became more complicated. Even the "Admiral of Hell" joined the ranks of those crazy pirates and attacked Danitz for the key of the god of death, the key that could make a person a true god.

As a result, the rumor spread more and more, and eventually became the legendary "Key of Death" famous on the sea. It even reached the ears of the Church of Storms, and asked "Hanged Man" Alger to find out the information.

The attention of the pirate general "Admiral of Hell", who was closely related to the Spirit Cult, was naturally attracted. He also wanted to take the "key" from "Vice Admiral of Iceberg" Edwina.

In the end, Danitz was in danger, which led to Gehrman coming to hunt the "Hell Admiral", and the big boss Azik was called in to capture the "Hell Admiral" directly.

So "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell happily became Klein's secret puppet for a year, but eventually he could not bear the high-intensity wear and tear:

When the goddess threw him into the "Secret Town" for the test, he fell into the hands of the "Witch of Despair" Panatia, and the demigod was suspended in the ancient palace under the watchful eyes of the transparent worm, "An Banyu".

This can be said to be a series of tragedies caused by greed.

The final result also showed that the key was actually made by a giant tribe in the Fourth Age - at that time there were still many giants active, some of whom converted to the God of War, and some of whom were scattered all over the place and became the target of human hunting.

One of the tribes built a ship and tried to go out to sea to find the lost giant royal court, but they never returned. The shipwreck and some of the items found by "Admiral Iceberg" Edwina were very similar to the ancient artifacts they left behind in their original settlement. So, the key actually belonged to the giants and pointed to the royal court that their tribe had lost before the Cataclysm.

Moreover, there is still a key that can open the Giant King's residence - but what exists there now is not the Giant King, but the evil spirit of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel, which can have a certain impact on the Chaos Sea and make those who come in have "split personality" in a physical sense.

From this perspective, Klein entered the Giant King's Court to help confirm that the evil spirit of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel was actually the "True Creator", "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", "Blasphemer" Amon, or the Adam and other beings who were always hiding behind the scenes - because only those who possess the "Source Essence" can enter the Giant King's residence and contact the Deputy King of Heaven.

In the end, several families competed for the first "blasphemous slate" and staged a good show of "kind father and filial son" in the "God-forsaken Land".

The real "Key of Death" allowed Klein to perform a "Fate Signpost" prophecy that could be described as "words come true":

This is how Klein interpreted the "Key of Death". He felt that the "key" was a revelation, a symbol. The most likely thing that could open Death's treasure house was not something in the shape of a key, but some kind of characteristic, a bloodline, or even a few specific people and their descendants.

In fact, the "Key of Death" - the key to the "throne of the gods" refers to Azik, the true direct descendant of the Death God family - the "Death Archon" Azik, the son of the "Death God". In fact, when Azik later came into contact with the "artificial Death God", the Goddess of Night, who had long coveted the "treasure of the Death God", had already grasped the uniqueness of the "Death God".

This is something.

What Star meant was:

Maybe when he follows "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina, he will come into contact with "Admiral Hell" Ludwell, and get the ring left by the "God of Death" from him. Combined with the "Pale Death" he has already come into contact with from the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette, he will rush there immediately after knowing the location of the "artificial God of Death": thereby conquering the uniqueness of the "God of Death".

But unexpectedly, this idea was completely disrupted by Adam before it even started.

Shouldn't He be dealing with George III and the Twilight Hermits? Why did He come here specifically to deal with him?

That’s right, it seems that I am the “culprit” exposed by them.

Now it seems that when Adam's plan was disrupted, Star's own plan was also destroyed.

When things developed to this point, it seemed to have become a dead end:
If Adam had an IQ online, how could he not realize that Star was the culprit behind all this?

In this case, Star can understand how uncomfortable it is when a "writer" wants to focus on him.

"It seems we have to take it one step at a time."

Star pondered.

Originally, "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina had both "Groselle's Travels" and the black iron key to the Giant King's Court, which opened the evil spirit of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel.

In the end, all of this fell into Klein's hands, and "Groselle's Travels" and the black iron key to the Giant King's Court that opened the evil spirit of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel helped Adam achieve his goal to varying degrees.

Even when “Admiral Hell” O’Neville believed the rumors on the sea against “common sense” and mistook the black iron key in “Vice Admiral Iceberg” Edwina’s hand for the “Key of Death”, and finally failed to break through through Danitz, he represented the “Spiritual Cult” and was willing to spend 8000 pounds to buy the black iron key from “Vice Admiral Iceberg” Edwina.

So in the end, Azik, the real "Key to the God of Death", appeared, and "Admiral of Hell" O'Neal became Klein's secret puppet. With the help of the ring left by the God of Death in the hands of "Admiral of Hell", Azik found the core of the "Artificial God of Death" plan in the Violent Sea - the uniqueness of the "God of Death".

Finally, the goddess appears and packs up the uniqueness of the "God of Death" that was delivered by express delivery.

From this perspective, the whole thing is very intriguing.

"Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina once explained it as the gravitational force generated by the "Law of Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics" on the "Web of Destiny", which brought these things together.

But Star clearly felt that it didn't make sense without the arrangement of Adam, the "writer", behind this.

Now, I'm afraid that poor "Iceberg Admiral" Edwina has once again become a "courier", except:
It seems that Adam must invite me to that mysterious island. I don’t know what He wants to do. Could it be that He wants to attack me on that island which is probably his imagination, in that home court, in order to "seal" me?
Adam shouldn't act rashly before figuring out the "reality" between the "reality and illusion" that even Star can't figure out, right?
By the way, the previous "narration" tip said:

"Iceberg Vice Admiral" Edwina might try to test herself - this is not in line with her teacher-like temperament and style.

Could it be that Adam wanted to find out his own "truth" through this? Especially the diverse ability of "tampering" path?
If this kind of "arrangement" were to be carried out, it would be too unreasonable. Was Adam afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it?

Do you want to pretend to cooperate with Him?
Star shook his head inwardly, and after figuring out that it was still Him who was hiding behind the scenes:

At least he had some expectations and precautions in mind, and would not be like Klein, who had developed according to the original path, and was often blindly pushed forward by Adam, the "manipulator" with the greatest "secrets".

All I can say is that with the information advantage, Adam isn't that scary anymore?

At this moment, Sta moved his sight and saw a parchment-bound book on the bookshelf next to him. There was a line of ancient Feysac language on the dark brown cover:

"Grossell's Travels"

"It comes from a sunken ship on the seabed. It has been submerged for 165 years, but it is still intact." Edwina introduced, "It records a story. A giant named Groselle decided to go to the Frost Kingdom to hunt the 'King of the North', a powerful frost dragon. On the way, he met companions one by one, including female elves, devout ascetics, nobles of the Solomon Empire, and soldiers of Loen. The story just progressed to the point where they encountered the 'King of the North' head-on, but it suddenly stopped. It's not that there is no story, but the next few pages are difficult to open no matter what method you use. You can try it."

"We have done some research using some secret techniques and found that the parchment was made at least three thousand years ago, before the Cataclysm."

"Books from three thousand years ago..."

"In addition to giant dragons and elves, there are also human ascetics, Solomon Empire nobles, and Loen soldiers... It's very strange, right? There is reason to suspect: This is a book that contains a 'prophecy', and the stories in it correspond to the development of the times..."

“I’ve also been studying this book recently.”

Edwina enthusiastically took Star's hand and introduced this book, which was originally "inconspicuous" on the bookshelf, as if it were a collection.

At this moment, the scene changed, and goose-feather-sized snowflakes appeared in front of both of them, with howling winds in their ears. Then, the biting cold madly attacked the bodies of the two people.

So at this moment, Star didn't bother to judge whether this "coincidence" arrangement was a bit awkward, or whether such a direct move was too "efficient".

At this moment, a thought suddenly emerged in his mind:
Damn, how come I overlooked this book before?

It seems that if he wants to fight, he can also fight the demigod-level frost dragon known as the "King of the North"?
