Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 450 Series Connection

"A curse has been implanted in your brain." Tyrannosaurus slowly lowered his hand. "It's okay. I've suppressed it for you...for now."

"Thank you...but this is not the first time I've heard this." Howard expressed his gratitude to Tyrannosaurus.

"According to my perception, this curse is a piece of information. Your brain has become the safe depository of this information. It can only be unlocked by using a specific key at a specific time." Tyrannosaurus said: "Something Mr. Antonio showed me just now may have stimulated it."

So Antonio started to flip through the research results he had just shown to Howard and others. Finally, after skimming through a picture, Howard stopped him.

Because his brain had a premonition of pain, he did not feel a splitting headache as immediately as before, but it seemed that the pain could come back at any time.

This feeling is very strange. Sometimes before your calf cramps, it will give you a sign even one or two minutes in advance. After you feel this sign, there is nothing you can do except find a place to lie down and wait for the cramp to start.

What Antonio showed was a projection of a page of a book, and some of the symbols on the page corresponded to the symbols in his mind.

"That's it," Howard said.

"You mean this?" Antonio pushed up his glasses which had not slipped off.

"The content of this projection does not come from the Helvetica family's collection." After getting Howard's confirmation, Antonio began to explain the origin of the content in the projection.

"Many years ago, I visited the collection of a very... unfriendly person, and this book was among his collection," Antonio said. "Unfortunately, I wasn't focused on it at the time, so I simply made a simple entry. Later, under the bombardment of the Empire, that unfriendly collector and the collection I was unable to save were all reduced to ashes. What a pity."

Howard: "You said you recorded the contents of the book. What did it say?"

Antonio: "The book is written in a language I have never seen before. My input program cannot understand or decipher it, so there is a significant loss of information."

"For a long time, I ignored these contents because I couldn't decipher them. That was until I found a few passages in the Helvetic family's collection that used similar characters to the book. With these comparisons, and thanks to the efforts of my consultant, some of the content has recently been deciphered."

"Your advisor?" Howard was a little confused. "But aren't you Ms. Lia Weide's advisor?"

"Yes, I am an advisor to the Helveticon family, but advisors also need advisors. The chief advisor is responsible for selecting the direction, and the assistant advisors are responsible for detailed research. I can't handle every detail myself." Antonio smiled.

"They are all excellent people in their respective fields. I give them what they want, and they also help me solve some problems in their spare time. It's very reasonable. Of course, many people eventually choose to become my full-time consultants. Most of the time, they don't need to do much work, but when they are really needed, their efficiency is also first-class."

At this point, Antonio extended an invitation to Howard:

"Mr. Howard, if things here are resolved, I might invite you to become my advisor."

"If that day ever comes, I'll consider it," Howard said. "But we seem to be getting off topic."

"Oh—I'm so sorry. You can see that this is my personality. Once I start talking, I may never stop." Antonio apologized to Howard and returned to the previous topic:

"The contents of this book are bizarre and blasphemous, and it records a history that cannot be verified."

Howard astutely asks the crucial question: "Whose history?"

Because in this universe, there are too many races that are capable of leaving behind "history".

"The Eldar," Antonio replied, "but the content recorded there is too absurd and too far away, so I can't tell whether it is the true history of the Eldar or just their myths and legends."

This time, without waiting for Howard to ask, Antonio continued:

"That book records that in the distant past... so long ago that humanity hadn't even emerged in the universe. When the flames of ancient war were still lingering, some members of the Eldar stole powers beyond their control... Many fragments were lost, but what we finally deciphered revealed that the Eldar perished before they could fully study the power they stole, and all their research findings were sealed away in a secret fortress..."

Howard: "Babel Elim."

Antonio's expression showed a hint of surprise, and then joy.

"Ah—it seems you've also come across relevant knowledge elsewhere," Antonio said. "Even after my advisor deciphered the general contents of this book, I still harbored doubts about the existence of this so-called fortress called 'Babel Ilium,' but your presence has made it even more plausible."

Antonio: "Can you tell me where you came across this information?"

"I once saw records of this underground on a planet called Karenya. It was the territory of a type of alien called the 'Nuclear Man.' Unfortunately, their culture seems to have been lost, and they were all exterminated in the subsequent war."

Howard did not fully reveal the origin of the spell in his mind. Firstly, he instinctively felt that the spell was very complicated and could not be revealed easily. Secondly, he did not completely trust this guy named Antonio.

Howard also didn't think that Antonio had told him everything he knew, so he decided to keep some of it. Perhaps in the future, when both parties knew each other better, Howard would take the initiative to tell him everything about the spell.

"Kalunya?" Antonio was stunned for a moment after hearing the name, as if his entire system was in a state of overload. When he recovered, he said, "I happened to have heard of this planet. It's famous for its abundance of a strange metal. It was originally one of the planets I planned to visit."

Antonio: "From what I understand, Karenya seems to be an exiled planet. It came from deep space and was captured by the current star while drifting... Perhaps it would be meaningful to trace its drifting path."

Antonio then shook Howard's hands and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Howard. Talking with you has given me some new ideas."

Howard: "But when I left Karenya, everything of value seemed to have been destroyed."

He was not lying, because Om Messiah had scanned the planet in detail and could not find anything valuable. If Antonio really went to Karenya, he probably would not find anything.

"It's regrettable, but at least there has been progress."

Howard: "One last question, can I ask, does the book say where this Babel-Ilium is?"

"This section is the most obscure and difficult to understand, and seems to use many riddles and metaphors. So far, all we've deciphered are illogical and bizarre sentences. We even suspect they're intentional errors, so please don't hold your hopes too high."

Howard: "I see. Thank you very much."
