Chapter 3 Multiverse Traveler
“Yes, I am here.” Said Angel, he then pointed to the ointment on the table for the mute servant. The mute servant waved to Angel indicating it has not been used.
Angel sighed helplessly, picked up the ointment and went to sit down next to Jon.
“Mentor, you didn’t follow the doctor’s orders.” Angel unscrewed the lid of the glass bottle and applied the thick green ointment to Jon’s slightly shriveled limbs.
“It doesn’t matter whether you apply it or not.” Jon looked on with a trace of nostalgia and sadness: “I am dying, ‘it’ will not let me live.”
“Who is ‘it’? ” Angel looked around with great vigilance: “Is ‘it’ your enemy, mentor?”
Jon shook his head after a moment. “There are no enemies. My enemy is another universe. ”
When he heard his mentor mention “another universe”, Angel subconsciously ordered the mute servant to leave, even if the mute servant was unable to speak, just as a precaution, whenever his mentor talked about his “past”, Angel would let the mute servant leave.
When it comes to his mentor’s origin, Angel still finds it unbelievable.
Jon comes from another world, or another planet. Because of a certain accident, Jon crossed over from his homeworld to this foreign land.
After Jon came through, he was saved by Angel’s father, and everything that had followed after the event was as expected.
Angel did not believe in the idea of “crossing”, but as Jon taught him more and more exotic knowledge and help establish his understanding of the micro and macro world, Angel had become a believer. Because the knowledge Jon taught him, although they are only empty concepts and have no basis of real knowledge accumulation from practice, had allowed Angel to do his own calculations and create his own data to verify, one can already tell how valuable this knowledge is if applied. This information is far beyond the current level of education that the Canary Empire can provide.
Even if Angel was skeptical from the bottom of his heart, he was probably a little convinced it was all true.
When he saw the mute servant closing the door and heard the sound of the footsteps headed downstairs, Angel asked softly asked, “Who… What is the ‘it’ that mentor refers to? ”
Jon was silent for a while, but he asked Angel a question.
“Do you believe that the world has a consciousness?”
Angel was dazed by the sudden question, and pondered for a moment before carefully answering: “Is mentor referring to Gaia Consciousness?”

Gaia Consciousness, there was naturally no such concept in the Canary Empire, and there was no such thing as Gaia, the mother of the earth. Jon told him of the concept of Gaia Consciousness. At the time, he just listened to Jon’s explanation and treated it as a fairy tale from another world. How could he know that Jon would suddenly ask such a question at this time.
“A similar concept.” Jon slightly nodded and said. “Before, I was a man of pure science. Even if someone had said that the logical end of science was God, I would never believe them. But in this world, I feel more and more of a change that is slowly affecting me. Of which a part of it has to do with the idea of ‘Gaia Consciousness’. ”
Jon looked towards the distant mountains. “My body, after arriving in this world, has always felt an inexplicable exhaustion. I asked my bio chip to fully test my body for any abnormalities, but there were no signs of disease, that is to say, I did not get sick. ”
Although Angel didn’t understand what a the bio chip referred to was, he asked Jon a question.
“Since you aren’t sick, then what happened.” Angel looked at Jon, who has almost become skin and bones, and became even more confused. Jon was in his early fifties, but his outward appearance, even if someone were told that he was in his late eighties or nineties, nobody would suspect it.
“What caused you to become like this?” Jon murmured to himself, then he shook his head and smiled. “You asked me that question six months ago, and I couldn’t answer at the time. But… as I am about to go to my grave, ‘it’ seemed much more relieved and gave me an indirect understanding regarding the ‘source’ of my illness. ”
“Source? ”
Angel looked at Jon quizzically. “Similar to the concept of Gaia Consciousness I asked you about earlier, I’m guessing… the world may have a huge collection of consciousness, with a cold and indifferent operation, it excludes all exotic souls, and is the consciousness of this world. And I, with this sickly body, may be done in by it’s masterpiece. ” Jon turned to Angel and said: “In short, the reason my body became like this is just a matter of acclimatization. Because I don’t originate from this world at all. ”
……
In the gorgeous main hall under a crystal chandelier, one person sat on each end of a long rectangular table, and behind each of these men, stood several knights clad in armor.
On the left is the next heir of the title, Viscount Pat, sitting in his manor: Leon. Pat.
On the right was a silver armor clad man with a large brown beard and an expressionless face: Ethan. Monne.
Ethan. Monne, with a hereditary count title. As the backbone of the Canary Empire, this patriarch of the Monne family, a family that has a deep background and has existed for hundreds of years, and is famous for their bravery and chivalry.
Nowadays, with a large number of the elite Monne family members at war with Sea Blue State on the front lines, it is unknown why count Ethan would suddenly come to the town of Grud.
After a long silence, both sides felt confrontation in the air, as each side’s momentum rose higher and higher, after all, the Monne family is a militaristic family, and their knight’s momentum quickly suppressed Pat Manor’s retinue. There was even a knight who could no longer bear the heavy pressure and let go of his sword, having it slam firmly on the hard floor. Leon heard the clang and frowned a little, he could only take the lead to say:
“Forgive him, my knight does not know the rules.” Leon waved, and behind him, the knight half kneeled and saluted, then slowly stepped back while picking up the sword. This simple action underplayed the upsurge in the other party’s momentum. “Did count Ethan suddenly visit for the sake of the front line supplies? ”
Now that the two countries are at war, even though Sea Blue State is small, and it’s territory is basically a collection of islands scattered like stars among the gap between a calm blue sea and violent stormy sea. The naval combat capability of the Canary Empire does not rival it, for an invasion at sea, the empire can only deploy ships at the coastline and defended passively.
Grud Town has been on the defensive for a long time, coupled with the fact that it is the only natural resource point and supplies the fresh water near the coast, with respect to this, the water supply of the town will naturally be shared by several nearby towns. Grud Town is a great part of the supply chain.
The supply to the front lines is all borne by Pat Manor alone, even if the ordinary townsfolk might not know it, but as the owner of Pat Manor, how could Leon not know.
“In the past few months, thanks to the strong support of Pat Manor, we were able to hold on. Without this support, our camps in the front line really would have collapse. ” Count Ethan thanked him and said, “Of course there is nothing wrong with the supply of water. I have come here today to ask about another matter.”
“What are you asking about?” Leon raised his eyebrow. Ethan gave him a wide grin, but his beard obscured his face, made him look silly. However, Leon noticed that Ethan’s smile did not reach his eyes.
“I don’t know, Viscount Pat, if you have ever heard of Morning Dew After the Rain?”
