Miss Windsor tilted her head in slight confusion.

"Those were the young men from your household back then,"

Ye Xiao put his index finger and thumb together to form a circle in front of his eyes. "I remember there was this guy with gold-rimmed glasses who was particularly arrogant. He even said he had published an arcane paper or something."

“Pfft, you mean Krumbel, right? He’s Senator Blaise Wynne’s eldest son.” Miss Windsor laughed.

"Brycewyn...why does that name sound familiar?"

Ye Xiao stroked her chin.

"His second daughter, Shirley Blaise, has a business relationship with you, right here... um..."

"Starweaver Team One".

Raymond, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Oh right, it's about cooperating with the Starweavers."

Miss Windsor's eyes lit up. "Just as this gentleman said."

"Sherry...?"

Ye Xiao pondered the name again.

"Oh! It's that noble lady who kicked the captain!"

Mo Feng excitedly began to recite, as if he had discovered a new continent, "Do you remember when the captain got drunk and was standing there saying, 'Sherry, Sherry, why are you avoiding me?'..."

Raymond finally couldn't help but slap Miss Maple on the back of the head, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

A burst of laughter erupted, and thanks to this banter, Mo Feng and the others, who were initially somewhat reserved in front of Tanya and Windsor, relaxed a little.

“Those noblemen were all invited by my father, so there’s no need to invite them to our small banquet.”

Miss Windsor waved her hand. "I find it more pleasant to be with you than with them."

“Miss Windsor flatters us. We are only benefiting from Kalon’s good fortune, hahaha.”

Raymond realized that the reason they could be called "friends" was mainly because of Kalon.

Ye Xiao chuckled and waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the mountains, Mo Feng, and Raymond. "By the way, where are Deborah and Doma? Didn't you invite them?"

"Ok?"

Miss Mofeng seemed not to hear, and tilted her head.

“Deborah and Doma, those two brothers from the Dark Shepherd who came together.”

"Who is that?"

Unexpectedly, Mo Feng frowned in surprise.

"That dark-skinned girl, she came with us from Xinjiang... wait a minute."

Ye Xiao seemed to realize something was wrong and turned to Raymond, "Do you remember Deborah and the others?"

"Forehead……"

Raymond scratched his fiery red hair. "I don't remember either. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Of course, she came with us."

Ye Xiao raised her eyebrows with a hint of amusement. "Miss Windsor, do you remember that we were given a few spots at the Duke's mansion?"

"Four,"

As Miss Windsor spoke, she pointed with her finger, saying, "Aren't you all here?"

"interesting."

Ye Xiao rubbed her chin.

These people don't remember anything about Deborah and Dorma at all?

That was their real mission here.

Many abilities can influence memory, but to modify cognition so subtly, Ye Xiao finds it hard not to suspect the Dream God.

"Oh, by the way, Tanya also told me that the guesthouse was attacked before. Do you know what happened?"

"Oh! I was there at the time, those birdmen from the Starweavers... uh..."

Miss Mofeng was speaking when she suddenly turned her gaze to Miss Windsor, seemingly unsure whether it was appropriate to discuss these matters at the other's dinner party.

"It's okay, you can go ahead and tell me. I just like to hear interesting stories."

Miss Windsor smiled gently.

"Windsor, you used to speak so softly. What changed you?"

Tanya made a sarcastic remark from the side.

"Oh, please don't worry, Miss Mofeng, I won't tell anyone else."

Mo Feng then vividly recounted what had happened at the guesthouse that night.

"Huh? Did something like this happen just a few days ago?"

Miss Windsor looked stunned. "I heard an explosion and thought there was just a fight outside. Those guys in the company didn't even tell us that the guesthouse had been invaded... Well, of course, I'm referring to the higher-ups, not you guys."

"It's alright, I understand, I understand."

Raymond and Mo Feng hurriedly waved their hands.

During the conversation, only Ye Xiao, who was stroking her chin, had a flicker in her eyes, as if she had suddenly understood something.

Chapter 209 We Are the Only One

In stark contrast to the brightly lit and festive atmosphere of the guesthouse, Reinhardt awoke in the deep, quiet cellar of the Fragrant Honey Bar on the eastern corner of the city.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a little dizzy. He subconsciously touched the coffin wall next to him, and then he was surprised to find that he was lying in the stone coffin he had seen earlier.

"He's just like a vampire..."

Reinhardt tried to recall why he had come in.

He only vaguely remembered that the old man who called himself Windsor said that everything they did was for...

"All of this is to liberate humanity from the oppression of gods and to grant them true freedom."

A gentle male voice sounded in his ear, and Reinhardt quickly turned his head, only to see a handsome man with dark curly hair, dressed in Tedhurst noble attire, standing beside him.

"who are you?"

Reinhardt became wary; how could he not sense the presence of such a large, living person standing next to him?

"Don't be nervous. You can't feel my presence because this 'me' doesn't actually exist in reality."

The other person answered slowly and deliberately, extending his hand as if to shake hands with Reinhardt.

Reinhardt paused for a moment, then reached out and tried to shake hands with the other person.

But then his hand passed right through the other person's palm. Although it looked very real, the man actually seemed to be just an untouchable phantom.

"Vision?"

"No, it's a spiritual connection."

The man smiled. "As for my identity, I should have told you before. My name is Windsad, and I used to be a member of the lower council of the Duchy of Tedeh."

"Wende Sadu?"

Reinhardt frowned. "But you're not..."

"That aged appearance is indeed my physical form in reality,"

Representative Wendt spread his hands, “Because I have been constantly adjusting and researching the spiritual brain, the burden caused by divine power has made my body age rapidly.”

“I know you may not believe it, but actually I’m only twenty-four years old.”

"Twenty-four years old..."

Reinhardt muttered in disbelief, "The old man I saw earlier, with his white hair, wrinkles, and the need for a cane and servants to help him walk, was only twenty-four years old?"

"Wait, am I going to end up like you?"

"Don't worry, you're just one of those connected to the Spirit Brain. There are millions of people like you. If they all turned into those old and decrepit old people, then there would be no point in me researching the Spirit Brain."

Reinhardt breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't care much about things like looks, he still found it hard to accept that the person looked that old.

"What is this 'spiritual brain' that you've been repeating?"

"The artifact of the Holy Casket, or rather, the new Holy Casket that I made based on the fragments of the Holy Casket, I call the Spirit Brain."

Reinhardt raised an eyebrow. "But didn't you say before that the Holy Casket had been stolen?"

"The Holy Regalia was indeed stolen, and the culprit was the Caesars Corporation."

Councilor Wendt explained, "But as you know, the power of the Sacred Relics can only be used by those chosen by the gods, so no one except the direct descendants of the Boromeo family can wield the power of the Sacred Relics."

"But the company's research institute was not satisfied with this. They cooperated with the Dark Shepherds to destroy the Holy Box, introduce the power of the evil god, and through repeated human experiments, they finally created the black snake that the evil god Elias uses to brainwash ordinary people."

"The true Holy Casket was ruined by the contamination, and such noble power was used as a tool for evil gods to brainwash humanity."

"Of course, I'm not really qualified to say that, because I was the head of that research project at the time."

"But whether it's the God of Light or the evil god Elias, the power of the Holy Casket is essentially just a tool for them to control humanity, only one is gentle and the other is violent."

"Therefore, the more I studied, the more painful it became. How could the power of the gods so easily control humanity, while we seemed to be born only to be lambs to the slaughter?"

"Until a certain opportunity arose, which made me, who was in a daze at the time, suddenly realize that such noble power could actually be used for a greater purpose, instead of just being used by those high and mighty gods as threads to control us."

"I have a more transcendent and magnificent ideal."

As he spoke, Councillor Winde tapped his finger lightly in the air.

A faint point of light appeared at his fingertips, and then, like twinkling stars, countless dense points of light appeared around him.

Pale gold lines connect the points of light, like a net, gathering all the points of light together.

"The so-called spiritual brain is actually a spiritual entity formed by all of us who are connected together."

"Just like you and me now, although we have different bodies, we belong to the same community in spirit."

Reinhardt scratched his head. "I don't quite understand..."

"Calm down, and without speaking, you will find that your consciousness is enough to convey the message you want to express to me."

Reinhardt then shut his mouth and conceived an idea in his mind.

Then, Councillor Winder chuckled and replied, "You think what I'm saying is unrealistic."

Reinhardt's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"But you don't need to worry that this is me eavesdropping on your thoughts. Calm down. In fact, if you want, you can also hear the thoughts of all the other people connected in the mind, including me, of course."

"I'm a member of parliament," said Councillor Winder with a smile.

Following Councilor Wendt's instructions, Reinhardt closed his eyes slightly, and in the silence, he indeed heard countless indistinct sounds.

Information flowed into his brain like an unhindered trickle, and he could perceive all individuals like himself, no matter where they were in the world.

This includes the true identity of Councilor Wendt, who is currently resting in a basement in the south of the city; Grand Duke Melodyne, who is writing documents in his study; the servant who delivered the message to him earlier; the undercover agent hidden among the Dark Shepherds; the traitor in the company; and the girl wearing the black and white scarf, who turns out to be a dragon...

"It's like I suddenly understand everything."

This statement perfectly captures Reinhardt's current state.

The confusion, bewilderment, and perplexity he felt before can now be fully resolved by the knowledge in the minds of countless people.

Reinhardt now finally understood what Senator Wendt meant by "community": although there are millions of bodies scattered all over the world, their consciousnesses are now in a network of interconnection.

At the same time, it seemed as if countless voices were echoing in Reinhardt's ears.

"With hearts united, there will be no more betrayal. With souls linked, everyone will become one."

"The root of humanity's predicament is nothing more than a prison called self. But now, you live for me, and I live for you."

"Only by reaching the other side of this evolution can humanity be freed from the control of the gods."

"This is what I mean by the ideal, the ultimate form that humanity should become."

"We are both the only one and the whole."
