Chapter 6 Zhang Guangqiu? Blue Zhang? Zhang Lan?

Old Blue couldn’t see Mr. Fool’s expression. He just heard the tapping sound. He calmed down a little and lowered his voice deliberately. With a little hoarseness, he continued:
"I didn't understand what was so important about a surname. I didn't even tell my son the surname 'Zhang'."

"I used to think that although Rune is not perfect, I was born here, grew up here, worked here, and will even die here. This is my home."

Old Blue bent his waist, pressed his hands on the bronze table, supported his body, and trembled slightly:
"Until I grow old, maybe it's the call of my blood, or maybe it's some more mysterious factor..."

"I began to feel uneasy and confused... but in the end I couldn't let go of my family, so I chose to continue living."

Klein felt a little emotional. If he couldn't find a way to return to Earth, would he just consider Tingen his home? Benson, Melissa...

Did Emperor Roselle ever find a way home? He was assassinated in the White Maple Palace in his later years... Did he return to Earth, or did he really die?

"Until my wife died..."

"Until my son lost control and died..." Old Blue's tone changed, filled with anger and irritability, as if all the sorrow and sadness before were instantly washed away, as if this was the real Old Blue:
“Your Excellency, Tianzun! My son has also become a Substitute Punisher. Although he does not know exactly how to act, he has been digesting the situation quite well under my guidance… After investigation, I found that there are many doubts about his loss of control… I pray that you will grant me the power to see through the conspiracy and allow me to complete my revenge… and then return to the place where my bloodline calls me, to your great kingdom of God, and reunite with my family…”

Acting method...

Kingdom of God? Where? In the gray fog? Klein complained in his mind, then thought, Mandated Punisher? Out of control? He suddenly remembered the fish monster at the dock a few days ago...

It took the former Punisher team leader Swain, the other Punishers, Old Neil, and the fortune teller himself to suppress it, and then kill it... kill it...

Klein glanced at Old Blue with mixed feelings. The old man looked excited, with his hair and beard trembling... Is this the father of the Mandated Punisher?

Out of control, suspicious? Old Neil and I were there at the time, and we didn't notice anything different... When the Mandated Punisher took over, he would have investigated...

Grant power? I also want to capture the power of the mastermind! Continuous coincidences, red chimneys, fools are too busy to take care of themselves!
The gray and hazy mist spreads as if it has never changed, and the deep red and illusory stars hang near and far.

Klein the Fool sat back, one hand flat on the edge of the table, the other hand clenched, gently twisting his chin, and said leisurely:
"I am a fool who likes equal exchange. Haha, you can no longer address me as 'Tianzun'. You can directly address me as Mr. 'Fool'. Of course, whether it is the former or the latter, it cannot be disclosed without my permission."

"You can use everything you have to get what you want from me and other people like you. Note that it must be of equal value..."

"This will make you stronger, give you the ability to see through the conspiracy, and avenge your son."

Old Blue stood up straight and saluted. "Thank you for your kindness. Please allow me to pay you for saving my life... Maybe it's a small thing for you to do by raising your hand, but it's a matter of life and death for me."

“I have been a Punisher for dozens of years and have collected some potion formulas. Together with my family’s previous accumulation, I am willing to dedicate them all to Mr. Fool.” “After retirement, another Punisher and I will run the underground trading market of the Dragon Bar in Tingen City. I am willing to do my best to collect extraordinary materials and dedicate them to Mr. Fool.”

This... this is saving a treasure! Klein barely restrained himself from saying "I want them all". In comparison, he was more concerned about things related to the "traversers" and said as if he didn't care:

"I am a fool who loves the long history. I am more interested in the books that record my honorable name. What I want in exchange is the history of the elves, which you know."

Old Blue thought for a moment and replied in a low voice:
"There aren't many records about elves in books. During my vacation, I went to explore the island of Sonia, which is known as the 'Ancient Elf Island'. There are a lot of elf relics and customs left there."

"According to records, the earliest elves came from the Western Continent. Elf King Sonjathorem was the first elf. He created the tradition of eating with two branches. He added salt and spices to blood to create dishes that coagulate blood. He also likes to eat animal organs."

Sonia Solem... This is the same name as the one recorded in the Silver City mentioned by the little "Sun"...

Klein had a big question mark in his head. Where did this fellow foodie come from? Isn't that "blood soup"? I haven't eaten it for a long time... He couldn't help but think of trying it when he returned.

"He has a wife, whose real name is unknown, but it is speculated that it may be the "Queen of Natural Disasters" Cosinamu. This name has long disappeared in reality, and only some records are found in the classics."

"The elves had the "sailor" path, but later the power was seized by the "tyrant", and the elves fled and disappeared in history. Now only some islands in the Sonia Sea still have their relics and murals. "

Old Blue lowered his head, his body trembling slightly, "Later I realized that 'Tyrant' refers to the god believed in by the Church of Storms, 'Lord of Storms'."

Lord of Storms, Tyrant... It sounds very fitting. Most people in the Church of Storms have violent tempers. Is this a factor? Are the gods influencing their believers? Klein nodded in his mind.

"You know, the Beyonder characteristics are "immortality" and "conservation". In order to recycle the Beyonder characteristics of the elves, the Storm Church will spare no effort to explore and capture the remains of the elves. So my tribe has abandoned our real surnames and all Beyonder characteristics, leaving only some books and secrets as a memorial. Only in this way can we truly integrate into human society... instead of being treated as mobile Beyonder materials, captured, killed, and made into sealed objects."

What? The extraordinary characteristics are indestructible and conserved? What does that mean? Mr. Fool doesn't know! Klein shouted in his heart, and then he thought of the death of the Tuxedo Clown of the Secret Society. The brand on his wrist fell off and formed a blue blood ball...

Could that be the Beyonder characteristic? What does indestructibility mean? What about conservation? Moving Beyonder materials? Could it be…

Klein suddenly realized the meaning of the immortality of Beyonder characteristics, and finally realized how dark this extraordinary world is - it turns out that Beyonders who drink the potion... will also be hunted in the eyes of some people.

"In fact, after losing our extraordinary characteristics, we are no different from normal humans. On the contrary, the extraordinary people who drink the Sailor's Path potion will have their hair change to blue, and after losing control, they will have the characteristics of sea monsters..."
