Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 333 Current Situation
Some words will make the quality of the text drop sharply even if they are just translated literally.

For example, the Giant Turtle Rock Platform is directly translated into Turtle Trap, and the fool is translated into fool.

The meaning hasn't changed at all, but it just sounds completely wrong!
When Audrey and Alger were at a loss for what to do, and even worried that the gentleman who came here with them would anger The Fool, Luke smiled, put his right hand on his chest, bowed, and saluted.

"I'm very sorry. I'm used to speaking my mind. Mr. Fool, you won't be angry, will you?"

You said that as if I could be angry...

Taking advantage of the gray mist that enveloped his body, Zhou Mingrui rolled his eyes inconspicuously, but his mouth still maintained a considerable style and answered calmly.

"It doesn't matter."

He thought silently in his heart that the way this man who came out of the black star appeared was completely different from the other two. Staying here did not increase his mental burden, showing enough "specialness".

Judging from his casual attitude towards himself, he didn't seem to think of himself as that powerful... well... according to the other two ladies and gentleman, he was an "extraordinary person".

Then there are two possibilities. One is that he has seen through that he is just an ordinary person who looks very powerful at first glance but is actually nothing. The other is that he himself is an extremely powerful extraordinary person.

Zhou Mingrui felt a headache and felt that the latter possibility was more likely. He couldn't help feeling worried but also inexplicably excited.

As for the way to go home, he only knew that the luck-changing ritual might be useful. However, after it turned out that the luck-changing ritual only pulled him into this space instead of sending him back, this possibility had been ruled out. So if he wanted to find the way home, getting to know a powerful extraordinary person would also be of great help.

It is both a danger and an opportunity!
Judging from the fact that this seemingly powerful Beyonder thanked him when he appeared, he at least had no ill intentions...

Audrey heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Mr. Fool was not angry at his companion's "frank words". She quickly became lively again, looking at Zhou Mingrui with shining eyes, and suggested with interest:

"Mr. Fool, would you mind trying this a few more times?"

Alger listened calmly and was also moved. He quickly echoed a few words and enumerated the benefits of holding meetings from beginning to end in an official and formulaic tone.

"Okay, I'm a person who likes equal exchange."

"Every Monday at 3pm, try to be alone. Once I have tried a few more times and figured out some things, maybe you can ask for leave early and don't have to worry about being in an inappropriate situation."

Zhou Mingrui thought for a moment and agreed. He had just traveled to this world, and the memories left by the original owner were incomplete. He knew very little about this world, so it would be good to have a way to get information.

Audrey, who was particularly yearning for the extraordinary world and full of a sense of ritual, immediately and happily proposed the suggestion of choosing a code name.

"You are Mr. Fool, from the Tarot card. As a regular, long-term, secret gathering, the title should be as consistent as possible. Well, let's choose from the Tarot card."

Her tone gradually became cheerful, "It's decided. My title is Justice!"

Alger frowned slightly and named a card, "The Hanged Man."

After everyone present had said their code names, the three of them looked at the last person.

Lu Ke did not refuse. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and gave his code name.

"emperor."

"emperor"?
Audrey's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange color, and she puffed up her cheeks subconsciously.

As the daughter of the Earl of Hall, who occasionally saw the small group of people who knew the real Emperor George III, it suddenly felt strange for her to call someone she had just met Mr. "Emperor".

But you can’t call him “Emperor”, that would be even weirder!

Compared to a simple noble lady like Audrey, Alger, who had worked his way up from the bottom of society, was more thoughtful. Like Zhou Mingrui, he also vaguely realized that Lu Ke was not a simple person.

The Emperor card in the Major Arcana in an upright position usually represents positive aspects, such as authority, order and self-confidence, while the reversed position may represent negative aspects, such as abuse of authority, lack of discipline or lack of self-confidence.

What does it mean that the code name "Emperor" is used? Is he a person of high position like Miss Justice, or even better, from the royal family?

Before Alger could think more, several knocking sounds came from the top of the long bronze table, and the Fool's indifferent voice rang out.

"Well, today's party ends here."

Audrey and Alger didn't have any extra thoughts and bowed seriously.

"Do your will."

Their figures faded and disappeared, turning into crimson stars again. Only Lu Ke remained where he was, looking at Zhou Mingrui with a smile.

The figure blurred by the gray fog could not see anything unusual, but Lu Ke knew that the party ended because Zhou Mingrui, who was still an ordinary person, could not withstand the spiritual consumption and his head probably started to ache again.

It's strange how he can endure it!

“Mr. Fool, why don’t you send me out?”

Zhou Mingrui endured the headache and didn't know how to answer for a moment. The crimson star could disappear by cutting off contact, but what about the black star?

It's good to have a cheat code, but can you give me an instruction manual?

After teasing the cat for a while, Lu Ke waved at Zhou Mingrui and smiled.

"Then I will leave on my own. See you next Monday, Mr. Fool."

A drop of golden blood oozed out of Lu Ke's index finger. It was the same drop that had shaped his body before, but its luster had dimmed a lot. He grasped the golden blood and tightened it.

With a light shattering sound, countless golden dots of light jumped out from between the fingers, and a circle of light like a portal was opened. Lu Ke took a last look at Zhou Mingrui sitting above the gray fog, walked slowly into the portal, and disappeared into the gray fog.

Zhou Mingrui, who witnessed the whole process, widened his eyes and trembled in his heart.

Mr. "Emperor" can actually enter and exit this mysterious space freely!
Sure enough, he is a powerful Beyonder!
Before he could sigh again, he felt waves of pain from his exhausted spirituality, forcing him to return to his body in the real world.

"It hurts, hurts, hurts!"

The pain and fatigue that felt like his brain was about to explode from not sleeping for several days and nights surged up in Zhou Mingrui's head. He covered his head, forced himself to look at his pocket watch, and confirmed that the time in the gray fog was synchronized with reality.

Then he could no longer hold on and fell on the bed, allowing the exhaustion to take him into sleep. The moment before he lost consciousness, he felt frustration, loss, pain, melancholy and many other emotions in his heart, and he let out a dull sigh.

He probably won't be able to go back in a short time. He needs to master more extraordinary knowledge and find the way home. Before that, he should temporarily put aside his longing for his family, friends and modern life.

From now on, he is Klein.

...On Iron Cross Street, in a dark, damp alley sandwiched between two residential buildings, a golden door slowly emerged, followed by a figure.

puff-

Under the influence of gravity, the figure fell to the ground.

A few seconds later, a gasp was heard in the alley.

"Sigh~"

"I pretended anyway."

Lu Ke grimaced and touched his sore butt, recalling the feeling just now, as if thinking about something.

"But it's really nice to show off in front of others..."

Lu Ke took a break for a while, and when the pain subsided a little, he looked around. All he saw were drainage pipes and iron fences outside the house. Near one end of the house, drops of water seeped out of an old water pipe and hit the ground with a dripping sound. The air was filled with a not-so-strong stench.

A terrible place to be born, and a terrible situation.

He concluded like this and began to sort out the current situation.

While being hunted by Primal Hunger, he used the information he obtained from the spirit world to determine the current time node. He prayed when Klein came above the gray fog, and with the help of Klein's response and the symbol of "invasion", he successfully used Sefirah Castle as a springboard to reach the interior of the earth.

A good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. If you want to truly avoid the "primordial hunger" or even go a step further and kill the opponent, the only solution is to become a true Old One yourself.

In addition to the ten great beings surrounding the earth in the starry sky, there are actually some Old Ones of slightly weaker levels. They are either not strong enough to compete with the great beings outside the earth, or they are not interested in the uniqueness and source of the earth and therefore do not participate. However, no matter how weak those beings are, they are all existences that can crush the true gods. Anyone who wants to snatch things from them is simply seeking death.

Only the earth is the most suitable place for development, as it has a vast amount of ownerless uniqueness and source material. At this stage, the strongest is only the true god. The righteous gods still need to go to the astral realm to block the cracks and maintain basic order on the surface.

Due to the four factors of the "invasion" symbol not having enough support and being imperfect, the never-ending pursuit of the "primordial hunger", the isolation of the original barrier, and the Outer Gods surrounding the earth, he could not find a suitable opportunity and place to launch the "invasion" symbol, spend enough time to actually enter the earth, and could only give a drop of blood to send into the source castle to reshape his body.

Unlike Audrey and Alger, since it was his real body in Sefirah Castle, Luke did not consume Klein's spiritual energy to maintain the projection. Also, since it was his real body, he could not simply cut off the connection and return like the previous two did. Instead, he needed to find a way out on his own.

At this stage, Klein is unable to allow matter to enter and exit Sefirah Castle. On the one hand, he does not yet understand the ritual of drawing on the power of Sefirah Castle to take and store matter. On the other hand, ordinary people's spirituality is not enough to support the ritual.

After building a healthy, excellent, and sufficiently satisfactory body, and using up the last bit of power from that drop of blood after leaving Sefirah Castle, Luke is now an "ordinary person".

If there is anything special about it, considering the language barrier, the main body packed in all the languages ​​currently spoken on Earth. This is why Audrey, Alger, and Klein did not feel confused when he spoke just now. He also used the Loen language, and it was a very pure one.

Apart from that, Lu Ke is just an "ordinary person" who cannot be divined, cursed, manipulated, or have his mind tampered with. He possesses the status of an Old One and has his own body in the starry sky as external aid.

Fortunately, he had lived an ordinary life on an Earth-like planet before. After awakening the golden finger, he began to flee continuously before he had time to enjoy a life with great power, so it was not so painful to become an ordinary person again.

Lu Ke took a few steps forward, leaned forward, and saw his current appearance through the puddles on the ground.

He has black hair, brown eyes, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a well-defined face, deep and bright eyes, a straight nose, slightly thin lips, and fair and delicate skin. He looks young and handsome. Below his face is a body that is strong enough, with outstanding specialties, and seems to have been well-trained.

He nodded slightly. After all, this body was made in a hurry, so it was enough for it to look good.

A cold wind blew by, and Lu Ke rubbed his hands, feeling the chill slowly seeping into his body.

Tingen is located in the north of the Kingdom of Loen. Although it is close to July, it is still cold in places without sunlight such as in the early morning or evening, especially when there is no clothes.

"I need clothes, food, money, and an identity that is not too conspicuous. I need to find a place to settle down and buy the materials needed for the ceremony..."

Lu Ke was thinking about his next move when he heard some unclear curse words from the alley entrance. Several footsteps gradually approached, and several drunks who were laughing, spitting foul language, or vomiting and urinating walked into the alley.

Most of them were dressed in dirty clothes, with messy beards and stains covering their facial features. Their unkempt faces had a ruffian look, and they were obviously the lowest level of hooligans in the city. As soon as their eyes met Lu Ke's, several of them walked towards him aggressively, swearing.

There were also a few drunks whose eyes lit up when they saw Luke and they looked at his body with disgusting eyes.

Although there are always a large number of street prostitutes on the streets, many people at the lower class cannot even afford street prostitutes. Sexual resources are extremely scarce, so it is not uncommon for them to seek sexual relief from the same sex. Some good-looking men are even more favored by those people.

"The security here is not very good..."

Luke muttered quietly and went forward to meet him.

……

After a few seconds.

Lu Ke released the arm of the last thug, letting him fall to the ground with a thump, rolling his eyes. He then glanced indifferently at the thugs lying on the ground with bruises on their faces.

As we all know, those who push their physical fitness to the limit of ordinary people are also ordinary people.

Not to mention that his memory was still there, so he could easily deal with some low-sequence Beyonders, not to mention a few thugs whose bodies were hollowed out by alcohol and sex and who could only band together to bully beggars, women, and children.

Lu Ke picked out a set of clothes that were barely clean and put on, and counted his spoils, no, the medical expenses and mental compensation he received after the self-defense counterattack.

"Five soli and eleven pence, a bunch of poor bastards."

He glanced with disdain at the thugs lying on the ground groaning, and weighed the money in his hand.

This is not enough as a start-up capital, not even enough to buy a suit...

He raised his leg to leave, but a thug who was relatively close to him suddenly crawled towards him on his knees, enduring the pain and fear, and spoke in a whisper.

"Sir, this is all our own fault. Please be merciful and leave us a few pennies."

For the lower-class people who have no ability to bear risks, it is a terrible thing to lose a job and not be able to find one in time, to get sick and have to spend money on medical treatment, or to have their capital chain broken for some other reason.

Without money, you can’t buy food, and without enough food, you don’t have the energy to work. It’s easy to fall from a resident to a refugee, and then you’re not far from death.

Lu Ke was indifferent to this, but his eyes flickered and he showed a kind smile, "Not impossible, as long as you introduce me to a few more 'friends'."

"friend……"

The gangster was stunned for a moment, looked at his companion who was lying on the ground groaning, and immediately guessed what Lu Ke wanted to do. He swallowed his saliva.

"Good... good!"
