What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

The identity token that had been sealed was once again known to him, and when Zhao Si looked at him, the surprise in his eyes was undisguised.

With a keen intuition, despite being an ordinary person, Holmes began to believe the other party's story.

Moreover, even if his innate insight only lasted for a fleeting moment, Holmes was able to "see" the presence within Zhao Si—

They are souls, but unlike the souls that usually turn into vengeful ghosts, the two souls on Zhao Si's body are not in the mortal world.

Hidden in a higher dimension or another dimension, estranged from reality, yet with only one anchor point, Zhao Si, who "holds" the soul.

This seemingly ordinary boy, like a thin string holding a kite, draws diverse souls to his side, while also giving himself to those souls.

—What follows is Holmes's speculation. He only witnessed a fleeting phenomenon and couldn't fully understand it, and there was something else more important than satisfying his curiosity:

"Am I about to say goodbye to Chaldea in this Lostbelt...?"

Holmes knew perfectly well that he had no choice but to leave Chaldea.

If you, who knows your true identity, follow Shadow Border back to the new base in the Wandering Sea, the alien god will come knocking on your door the next moment.

However, Holmes felt that the time should not have been brought forward so much.

Like Professor Moriarty's magic bullet, the bullet will eventually shoot toward a common target according to its predetermined goal.

His identity as an alien apostle is the key to unraveling the mystery.

However, before Holmes could encounter a nemesis capable of uncovering his secrets, he suffered a sudden blow along the way, and even if he didn't want to recall it, it was to no avail.

"Well, it's just that we can't return to Chaldea. In this Lostbelt, I can still accompany Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others to the end."

Thinking of this, Holmes responded to Zhao Si with an apologetic look, which the other party couldn't understand.

What? Is this it? Would Sherlock Holmes be the kind of person who easily says "sorry" to others?

"Cirin, did you just give that British gentleman over there a hard time? He's been looking at me strangely."

"It's already pretty good that I didn't manage to ignite that thing inside him without even saying hello."

That thing refers to the Servant's Spirit Origin Core.

Back during the battle in the Atlantic, the two female ghosts in the Freedom cockpit worked together to deal with a Servant who was driving a Trojan horse. Because of the rudeness of the evil Xiu, Zhao Si and Sirin were offended at the same time.

As for Janna, she's just a side character; she can be pushed from behind.

Janna: ?

"According to Fujimaru Ritsuka, our next step is to go to the temple and try to use the Great God's legacy, those nanomachines, to reinforce Captain Nemo's ship."

"Yes, on Holmes's advice, we decided to rest in Hestia for a day, and on the second day, Mr. Bartholomew would lead us to the temple to retrieve the Great God's legacy."

The legacy of a great god: nanomachines.

Zhao Si's eyes lit up slightly. If he could strengthen the mecha he was currently piloting, preferably to the point of breaking through Odysseus's divine steel barrier, then he would try to get more of this divine legacy.

While Zhao Si pondered how the Great God's legacy could improve the freedom aspect of his abilities, Fujimaru Ritsuka was also sharing the information they had gathered so far, including but not limited to:

[Bartholomew's explanation of the reasons for the formation of Lostbelts]

Captain Drake steals a core of Poseidon, but is unable to return to the sea.

[Some Servants broke through the Atlantis defenses and entered Olympus]

[Artemis's automatic attack range has been expanded from all targets near the entrance to Olympus to all rebels.]

Etc., etc.

Because Zhao Si gradually recalled the Lostbelt storyline over the course of six months, he treated all the information provided by Chaldea as mere entertainment.

Listen to the fat director Goldrov, little Da Vinci, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Mashu, the four of them adding information one after another, while Fou tugs at Zhao Si's trouser leg.

Given the Fourth Beast's sensitivity, it should have sensed the unusual "spiritual pressure" emanating from Zhao Si.

Sirin wasn't afraid, but since she didn't have a physical form, she could only hang on Zhao Si and observe. However, Janna secretly hid behind Zhao Si, not daring to be as bold as Sirin and go over.

No, what do you mean by a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs? The planetary-level Honkai Beast was so scared that it was only left with its soul that it was frightened by the fourth beast.

"Is it really necessary? The Beast of Comparison didn't do anything to you."

"What if? I'm still wary of the strange-looking beasts here."

Although she didn't know how much of Zhao Si's description of the beast was exaggerated, Janna remained quite cautious and didn't dare to show herself.

Zhao Si shook his head and continued chatting with Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others about the Servant lineup the other side had gathered:

Rider Bartholomew, who was allowed to stay temporarily in Hestia Village as a "transporter," went off to deliver goods to the villagers after their first meeting. He was truly a kind-hearted pirate leader.

Assassin Charlotte Corday, Gudako's new girlfriend (indeed), currently no one has discovered the inactive Zeus legacy within her, and Zhao Si habitually refers to her as Charlotte.

Archer Orion, a bear-faced three-star hunter, was originally going to escort the Chaldea group to Hestia Village and then leave, but he was attracted by the flying Freedom Gundam, took a look for a bit, and then left. However, this guy will definitely come back on his own later.

Upon seeing Grand Bear, Zhao Si was certain of one thing: the other party would definitely exchange one for one with Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Although he had a lot of flirtatious words, his actions were surprisingly pure love.

Zhao Si was very fortunate that the two female ghosts following him were invisible to everyone. If they had physical bodies, they might have been harassed by some fierce followers.

"Indeed, men's possessiveness knows no age."

"I'm so happy!"

Having a female ghost by your side means you're kindred spirits, and she'll know what you're thinking.

Before leaving, Bartholomew explained the details of the trip to the villagers and reassured them, telling them that the blue and white aircraft with large wings meant no harm.

Even so, when Zhao Si followed the Chaldea group into the village, he still felt a wave of suspicious glances. After all, his appearance was quite eye-catching, and his arrival was more than ten times more high-profile than the Chaldea group hiding the Shadow Border before entering the village.

In Hestia Village, and indeed throughout the Lostbelt, people are quite wary and fearful of any changes beyond their unchanging lives.

Even when Bartholomew provided them with the Hestia village guide, Erettikos, she didn't dare to look Zhao Si in the eye, and would quickly turn her head away whenever she saw him.

Am I some kind of filthy thing?

Zhao Si tilted his body slightly to the side and looked down at Fufu, who was following at his feet, and asked her.

"Ugh!"

The fourth beast let out a cry and nodded.

Alright, the descendant has a strong flavor, no need for much salt.

Along the way, Eredikos introduced the scenery of the village to everyone, but in reality, the only thing he could introduce was the towering remains of the gods in the distance.

Aside from this tourist attraction, which is clearly a high-tech remnant, the rest of Hestia village fits Zhao Si's stereotypical impression of ancient Greek civilization.

"Everyone, this is the village's textile workshop. All the clothes we wear are made here."

Eredikos led the group to the village's clothing factory. Zhao Si looked out and could see the styles he used to wear on Astraea Island.

Well, even ancient Greek civilization didn't have the same impoverished aesthetic sense as the villagers here.

Zhao Si felt that even if he took a Sanhe spray can and sprayed it on these monochromatic clothes, they would still be more damp and humid than any other piece of clothing.

"Hmm, that's a textile machine, and the material is cotton?"

Director Goldruff reached out and touched the thread on the spinning machine; it felt similar to regular cotton thread.

"No, it's materials made by Theos Clylonomia mixed into the bark of birch trees."

Eretikos corrected the fat director's choice of words, and Zhao Si, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

This "Klee something luo nuo mia" almost made my mouth split open when I first read it. Can't you just call this thing a legacy of a great god?

"It's quite basic, and is its strength reliable?"

"Simple? But it's reliable. These clothes not only regulate temperature, but they're also blade-resistant, so they can withstand attacks from magical beasts."

Zhao Si retracted his stereotypes about ancient Greek civilization.

Who has a single thin top that can regulate temperature and protect against knives?

Holmes even took a locally sharpened iron dagger and tried to chop several times at a piece of cloth, but was stopped by his guide, Eredicus:

"Doing so will damage our daggers."

Eretikos said so.

"What an all-powerful nanomachine! No wonder Captain Nemo, even though the ship wasn't damaged, you still thought of using the God's legacy to reinforce it."

Captain Nemo, who was out on the ship, was a sissy (without a doubt). He nodded in agreement with Zhao Si's remark, saying:

"That's right. When I get close to these products that bear the legacy of the great gods, my spirit origins feel a strong desire for them."

If Captain Nemo said it was okay, then why not give it a try?

Now we can carry out modernization—no, I mean, divine transformation.

[Do we really have to oppose modernization, host?]

"Just tell me if it's a modification or not."

[...that's really true]

Chapter 61: Banquet! Revelry! Shocking Remarks! (4k)

Led by Eredikos, Zhao Si and the Chaldea group toured the village of Hestia.

Having high-tech products like nanomachines, but using them to weave clothes, perfectly fits the lifestyle depicted by futuristic retroism.

Not to mention that in the evening, the men who had been sent out returned, dragging huge snake-like monsters as thick as half a person to have dinner with everyone.

According to Holmes, who casually opened the appraisal nearby, this dead demon beast was comparable to the large demon thrones they had encountered before.

"In the Russian Lostbelt, the Yaga people used magic guns to go through great hardships to defeat and subdue the monsters they had made food. But here, it was just an ordinary hunt by four strong villagers."

Holmes commented on this:

"The gap between lives is still quite huge."

Zhao Si didn't know how strong it was. He just felt that Ziyou could kill one person with one shot, but the local residents didn't show any superhuman strength. It should be considered a normal hunting harvest.
