After thinking for a long time, Lin Ruo let out a long breath. He realized that he really couldn't rush the search for his memories. After all, given his current situation, ordinary Beyonders were unlikely to know anything about him, and those who did know about him were all difficult to deal with.
The only target likely to yield results in the near future was probably Vice Admiral Iceberg's book.
"If I want to get to know Vice Admiral Iceberg in a logical way, I'll have to go to sea first. But pinpointing her location won't be easy; it might take some time... I wonder if that girl is on vacation again."
Thinking of a certain embarrassing Hunter, the future Million Pound Sterling gentleman who clung to thighs in the original work, Saint Danitz, who seemed to have taken the wrong sequence and might directly reach the level of a demigod through the Fate pathway, Lin Ruo couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
If possible, he really wouldn't mind replicating Klein's operation and getting to know Vice Admiral Iceberg through Danitz.
Moreover, since they both loved to learn, Lin Ruo felt that if he really met Vice Admiral Iceberg, they should have a lot to talk about. If he wanted to become friends and then buy 'Groselle's Travels' from her, it shouldn't be difficult.
"There's also the matter of digesting the potion. If Pyromaniac really manipulates the anger in other people's hearts... pirates are good practice targets."
Anyway, Lin Ruo felt no guilt in manipulating the inner anger of those heinous pirates; he considered it an act of eliminating evil for the people.
Thinking about these things, Lin Ruo pinched his chin, making arrangements for his next itinerary.
"It's time to find Saint Anthony, and Klein's special training needs to be arranged when I go to sea..."
"Oh, right..." Lin Ruo suddenly thought of something else. He simulated the abilities of an Scholar of Yore and reached out to pull.
This time, however, he tried several times without success. After consuming about one-third of his power, Lin Ruo stopped trying, deep in thought.
"So, I can't pull the historical projection of my past self..."
"Is it a limitation of the simulation ability itself, or... is it my own problem?"
...
Tingen, train station.
Woo—
The whistle of the steam train echoed in every corner of the platform. Although it was only 6 a.m., it was already full of pedestrians carrying suitcases.
Klein, dressed in a swallow-tailed coat and a half-high silk top hat, stood in a corner of the platform, listening helplessly to his sister Melissa's instructions.
"...Remember to visit the neighbors after you get there. I've read in magazines that Backlund seems to be very particular about this... Don't spend money recklessly. If you can cook for yourself, try not to eat out. I heard that restaurants are very expensive in Backlund..."
Although she was the youngest sister, Melissa always had the heart of an old mother, counting down all the things Klein needed to pay attention to after arriving in Backlund, the expression of concern and worry on her face impossible to hide.
Sister, I'm really not a naive person with no social experience... Klein, who had been listening since morning, couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he kept all of Melissa's words in mind.
Beside them, Benson, whose hairline was already quite high, watched all of this with a smile. Today, in order to be able to see Klein off to Backlund, he had specially taken half a day off.
Fortunately, the family was not short of money now, so it didn't matter.
Woo—
The whistle of the steam train sounded again. Klein glanced over and found that his train had arrived.
"Melissa, Benson, the train's here, I have to go." Klein said, picking up the exaggerated leather suitcase next to him that was not quite proportionate to his figure. He looked at Melissa again, and although he felt a little sad in his heart, he still smiled and said, "Melissa, don't worry, I remember everything you said."
"Okay, goodbye..." Melissa nodded, her nose a little sore. She looked at Klein's back, and suddenly said loudly, "Klein..."
"Hmm?" Klein stopped and turned to look at her.
"You must take care of yourself!" Melissa said, pausing for a moment, then her voice became a little choked up, "Remember to write letters, be sure to remember to write letters."
"I will." Klein's nose also suddenly felt a little sore. He nodded heavily, his eyes falling on Melissa and Benson, and said, "You must also take care of yourselves."
After saying that, he no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth, and plunged into the crowd with his suitcase, boarding the steam train with the other passengers.
"Woo." Melissa covered her mouth, suppressing her sobbing.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never been separated from Klein. Although she had also thought that Klein would get married in the future, she would marry, and they would go to different places, she had never thought that Klein would leave them so soon.
Backlund, how far away, so far that even taking a steam train would take more than 4 hours to arrive.
As soon as she thought that Klein would be living alone in Backlund in the future, Melissa couldn't help but worry, worrying that he wouldn't take good care of himself, worrying that he would be bullied by others.
Just then, Melissa felt a hand on her shoulder, followed by Benson's voice:
"He will take good care of himself."
Although equally reluctant, as a reliable adult, Benson was obviously much better at restraining his emotions than Melissa.
He smiled and comforted his sister: "In order to be able to reunite with Klein as soon as possible, Melissa, you must study hard!"
Klein had naturally talked to Melissa and Benson about his future plans. Among them, Melissa's future plan was naturally to strive to get into a university in Backlund.
"I will." Melissa nodded heavily, her eyes still reluctantly chasing the steam train that was gradually disappearing from view, until she could no longer see it, she turned to Benson and said:
"Benson, let's go back!"
...
Noon, Backlund.
After the steam train came to a stop, Klein, carrying his large suitcase, stepped steadily onto the ground of Backlund, the capital of the Loen Kingdom.
Backlund, the capital of the Loen Kingdom, is also the land of hope that everyone often talks about.
This is a large city with a population of over 5 million, the most prosperous city in the North and South Continents, and also the place that Lin Ruo often joked about, "Angels walk all over the ground, demigods are not as good as dogs"—of course, Klein was skeptical about the truth of these two jokes.
Perhaps because it was noon, Backlund rarely wasn't foggy, and the weather looked pretty good.
Klein looked around, and suddenly his spirituality gave him a reminder, which made him look over subconsciously, and he saw a familiar figure, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Mr. Neil!"
That's right, the person Klein saw was Old Neil, wearing the same classic black robe as he used to in Tingen, with gray hair.
