I have a Synthesizer

"The things left behind after death? I don't know what Father is talking about. My magic power is so great that after the bombardment, everything turns into nothingness, even the Nine Kings are no exception.

Even if Follen had any treasures on him, it's impossible for them to have survived, right?"

Klein began to feign ignorance, while Asmond looked at him suspiciously, maintaining a skeptical attitude towards Klein's words.

Klein is currently only at the Super Rank. Although he possesses the ability to fight beyond his rank, perhaps he really knows nothing about the exploration of the throne, as he said.

Moreover, Klein's previous magic power was indeed too immense. That kind of power was simply incomprehensible to humans.

At this time, Klein was very clear that he had to show something, so that Asmond could completely believe him.

"Really? If I give you a complete corpse of a Nine King, you can really give me back the bottle?"

"Of course, then, we can establish a contract, a contract regarding the Nine Kings!"

"A contract, huh? Good! I, for one, like contracts the most."

The two couldn't help but laugh, each with their own thoughts and routines.

"Okay, Father, we're going back to the Imperial City. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

"Good, I'll wait for your good news."

There were many reasons why Asmond didn't threaten Klein, the most important of which was that Klein really had the ability to kill a Nine King.

If the Empress's side couldn't be relied on, then could he find another way, starting from Klein's side?

Klein's strength was already very strong. At this time, it was entirely possible to kill another Nine King. Then, wouldn't he just return the bottle?

If possible, he could also play tricks in the contract, not only could he continue to control Klein, but he could also get a throne of a Nine King for free.

With Klein, Progetto, and himself reaching the King level, this state would truly be invincible.

"Hehe, Klein is still too naive, let me give him a good lesson, although I have never given him a lesson before!"

......

Compared to Asmond's self-inflation, Klein's attitude was much more accurate. He was very clear about Asmond's purpose, and he was also very clear that Asmond was likely to play tricks.

But he can be a dog if he wants, I'll just develop slowly.

Klein had no intention of making a deal with Asmond at all. He said this to Asmond mainly to stall him.

After stabilizing Asmond, he would first let Lilith devour the Chaos Orb, and then he and Progetto would continue to study how to steal back the bottle.

Once he got the bottle back, with his current strength, he no longer needed to be afraid of Asmond. In a head-on 1-on-1 battle, Asmond would not be his opponent either.

"Let's go! Return to the Imperial City!"

......

Imperial City - Palomia.

The continuous battles made the atmosphere in Palomia somewhat depressing, and people hurried through the streets.

Most of them held a large amount of food, water, and some daily necessities in their hands.

The reason for doing so was also very simple, because the Belga Fortress had been destroyed, but Grandok still had not announced a ceasefire.

At this time, they were still gathering on the border. They had too many reserves, and more and more soldiers were preparing to set foot on Telluria's land.

So at this time, many people knew, and were clear, that the only safe place in Telluria under this situation was the Imperial City of Palomia!

They were hoarding a large amount of supplies to deal with the chaos of the battlefield that might occur.

In the past few days, the price of food and water had risen again and again, and the rise in food prices had also made the entire Imperial City somewhat chaotic.

Klein looked at the Imperial City at this time, and couldn't help but feel a little唏嘘.

Many times when people were bragging, they couldn't wait to point their swords at Grandok, but when they really fought with Grandok, they could understand how cruel war was.

This cruelty was not just as simple as the death brought about by war.

War would also completely disrupt and collapse the country's development and economic system. Many people were unable to find employment, were homeless, and had no income.

These people without income would be even more panicked and would cause even greater riots.

Riots continue to bring riots, and under the heavy pressure of war, the entire social order will collapse!

This is the most terrifying aspect of a war.

Klein stopped Lilith from giving food to some beggars.

"Don't give them food."

"Why?"

Although Lilith was a little疑惑, she still stopped her movements.

"The black on these people's fingers is blood, and there is also blood on the corners of their mouths. It is difficult for animals to exist in the Imperial City, so this blood can only be human.

In other words, these seemingly pitiful beggars are likely to have killed their companions.

Under this kind of hunger, the purpose of killing their companions should not need me to say it, right?"

The corners of Lilith's mouth twitched, and finally she nodded in agreement. At this time, it is better not to have unwarranted kindness.

Because you don't know what kind of person you are saving.

"Okay, I understand, where are we going now? Go to Jess first?"

"Jess is not yet our territory, let's wait a while, let's go, we're going to the Imperial Palace! Let you inherit the Empress's遗物!"

Klein took Lilith and walked straight towards the Imperial Palace.

The Dark Crusaders who were originally guarding wanted to stop them, but when they saw that the people who came were Klein and Lilith, they immediately let them go.

"Lord Klein, you are the hero of our Telluria, you can enter the Imperial Palace at any time."

The Dark Crusader guard said very respectfully, and his eyes were already full of yearning and worship when he looked at Klein.

Needless to say, another little fanboy of the war, he should be the guy who self-brainwashed into a Klein brainless fan after Klein's war report spread back to the Imperial City.

"Thank you."

Klein, pulling Lilith along, sprinted towards the interior of the palace. He had a feeling about a place the Empress had taken him before, that it should be inside the palace!

"Soon."

The guards cleared the way for them, until they arrived at the Empress's bedroom, where a man in a black robe stood before them.

"Lord Kuka Selo."

"Father."

Standing before them was Lilith's father, the Origin of Plague, Kuka Selo.

Klein originally thought Kuka Selo was standing there to stop him. Just as he was about to explain, Kuka Selo tossed him a set of keys.

"This is the key to the basement, there are 12 in total.

They symbolize the twelve cycles of the Furnace, the final mechanism of the basement!

Her Majesty said that although she never told you the answer, if it's you, you'll definitely know how to open the mechanism.

So, don't let Her Majesty down."

After Kuka Selo finished speaking, he glanced at them again and frowned.

"What are you hesitating about? Time is of the essence, go in! Her Majesty has already left."

Klein was stunned for a moment, looking at the set of keys in his hand, his expression becoming somewhat strange!

The twelve cycles of the Furnace? The keys in his hand have a pig, dog, monkey, snake, etc. This is clearly the 12 zodiac signs!

"Okay, thank you, Lord Kuka Selo, I won't let Her Majesty down."

After Klein finished speaking, he pulled Lilith and walked towards the Empress's bedroom.

Pushing open a bookshelf in the bedroom, the two entered a very deep corridor.

After walking for a long time, the two finally arrived in front of the Empress's basement.

"This is it!"

Klein looked at the door in front of him. In the center of the door was a disc, and indeed, there were 12 animals on it, the Chinese zodiac.

The disc had two layers, an outer layer with characters and an inner layer with images.

"The twelve earthly branches correspond to the twelve zodiac signs? For Chinese people, it's not difficult at all, but if other people come here!

There's almost no possibility of solving it!"

Lilith looked at the animals on the door with a strange expression.

"What are these magical beasts? They look very strange, some look like snakes, or wolves, and some I don't recognize, I've never seen them before."

Of course you don't recognize them. Klein didn't explain too much, explaining these things would take too much time.

Klein inserted the first key, the rat, into the door, adjusted the character to 'Zi', the animal to the rat, and then inserted the rat key.

"Click!"

The first door opened.

It was an empty room, with only a sentence left by the Empress on the wall, also in Chinese characters.

"It seems a little darling has found this place, but unfortunately, there's no reward. See if you can make it to the end!"

Klein smiled. Such a message really suited the Empress's personality.

He didn't linger and took out the second key to continue opening the door.

"Zi Rat, Chou Ox, Yin Tiger, Mao Rabbit,

Chen Dragon, Si Snake, Wu Horse, Wei Sheep,

Shen Monkey, You Rooster, Xu Dog, Hai Pig,

These are the twelve zodiac signs."

Klein actually sang it out. Lilith on the side was dumbfounded. What kind of song was this? It felt like a catchy tune, but it was quite nice.

"Are you singing? Or are you chanting a spell?"

"Singing? I never sing. I was just reciting an ancient spell. You're not a mage, you wouldn't understand."

"Since it's a spell, why did you laugh while saying it? Is this kind of spell very funny?"

"Yeah, it's probably a little funny!"

Klein opened one door after another. Behind each door, the Empress had left a sentence.

"What a clever fellow!"

"You're about to discover my secret!"

"Is he Chinese? Or...?"

"Amazing, but I'm very bored. I wonder how long I've been dead when you come here."

From these messages, it could be seen that the Empress's heart wasn't without ripples despite her many years of guarding Tyrrelia.

A transmigrator who reached the pinnacle might be very lonely?

Because no one in this world shared a common language with her?

"What season is 'Love Apartment' updated to?"

"Has 'Game of Thrones' ended?"

"Blindly guessing that the Dragon Mother is dead."

The last few rooms had significantly more words, and the Empress's mood also began to recover. She seemed to have returned to an optimistic state.

Until Klein and Lilith arrived in front of the last door.

Opening the last door, there were still many words on the wall, but the words here were obviously much more than before, but they were still casual chats.

"You've finally come here, whether you've cracked the twelve zodiac keys, or you're a visitor from the same place as me."

"But at least, we should be considered similar people, I'm very happy to meet you!"

"I can't hold on much longer. I'll leave the things inside to you!"

"I don't know if you got the Furnace before you came here. If you didn't get the Furnace, it's best not to absorb too much Void energy, it's very dangerous."

"Stranger, my name is Zhang Qianjue! I used to be just a salted fish without dreams, but later I experienced too much and turned myself over."

Klein said silently. The wall recorded many things that sounded a little embarrassing, such as when the Empress was picking her feet in her previous life and was seen by her male god.

During this process, she even put her finger in front of her nose and smelled it. Klein felt a smell just thinking about the scene.

There were many similar situations, such as going to the wrong toilet, having a menstrual blood avalanche, and so on.

The Empress's previous life was a fool. Klein could see that her life was much happier than his previous life!

Perhaps because of this, the Empress was able to withstand the pressure of being a super favorite! After enduring a lifetime of pressure, it was not easy.

Klein stroked the words on the wall. He had no intention of erasing these inscriptions, but stretched out his finger and wrote below the last line.

"Zhang Qianjue! Hello, my name is Lu Luo."

Lilith looked at Klein strangely. Leaving a word at this time felt very strange. Klein's emotional state was also very strange at this time, as if he was a little sad.

"Klein, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, some interesting things are recorded on this, it feels very interesting after reading it."

Interesting things, it's interesting to read, so why are you still so sad? Lilith couldn't figure it out, perhaps Klein got some inspiration from the words left by the Empress.

"Okay, Lilith, you are the person chosen by Her Majesty, let's go to the basement quickly, there are things Her Majesty left for you there."
