The world above the gray fog returned to silence, as though the gathering from before was just an illusion.
Klein bent his finger and tapped the edge of the long mottled table, allowing The Hermit Cattleya's Rosell diary pages to appear once again.
Amidst the indescribable silence, Klein cast his gaze at the first paragraph on the first page with a solemn expression.
"27th September. I met Miss Ithaca again. I had an exciting but beautiful experience with her. Indeed, I still prefer women of this age. It's not that I'm reminiscing about my youth, but that I haven't changed after so many years. Heh heh, how single-minded."
… I read your diary so seriously and solemnly, and all you show me is this? The corners of Klein's mouth twitched as he lampooned the Emperor whose portrait he had only seen.
He then reined in his scattered thoughts as his gaze began to move.
…
In a lounge in the basement of Saint Samuel Cathedral.
After Leonard Mitchell opened his eyes, he deliberated for a moment before suppressing his voice.
"Old Man, the Secret Order's Zaratul seems to be in Baekeland as well."
In his mind, the slightly-aged voice quickly sounded.
"Indeed …"
When Leonard heard this answer, he immediately pressed.
"Old Man, are you familiar with Zaratul? Didn't you say that the Zoroast family and the Zaratul family are powerful nobles of the Solomon Empire? "
From his point of view, Old Man and Zaratul were former colleagues and had fought side by side. How could they not be familiar with each other?
Pallez Zoroast scoffed.
"The Zaratul I'm familiar with has already perished in the War of the Four Emperors. This one should be his descendant. I might have met him back then, or I might not have met him.
Sigh, back then, Zaratul had already obtained clues to the second Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic from the True Creator. 'He' was waiting for the War of the Four Emperors to end before searching for it. If 'He' succeeded, 'He' would be considered a King of Angels. Unfortunately, in the War of the Four Emperors, 'He' directly encountered the one from the Antigonus family. That's an existence known as The Half-Fool, and Bethel Abraham was also involved. 'He' can appear anywhere at any time. If 'He' wasn't quickly expelled and sealed by Evernight and Storm, I probably wouldn't have been able to last until the end of the War of the Four Emperors. "
The Half-Fool … Leonard's eyelids twitched when he heard this title as he inexplicably thought of the person above the gray fog.
He immediately forced himself to control himself and turned his thoughts to something else.
Even from a bystander's description, Mr. Door is clearly one of the top existences among the Kings of Angels. Two true deities had to join forces to expel and seal "Him." Uh, there's a high chance that "He" is especially good at running and very difficult to kill. And back then, the situation was tense. They had to eliminate a threatening enemy as soon as possible …
Hehe, the old man was reminiscing about the past, and his mood was a little unsettled. He actually said so much in one breath …
Amidst his thoughts, Leonard suddenly spoke.
"I was left in Baekeland because I wanted to use you to lure Amon here?"
The sentiments in Pallez Zoroast's tone vanished as he clicked his tongue.
"Who guessed that? I don't think it was you.
"However, it's not bad that you know how to use your own resources to find out the truth."
I've been very familiar with this ever since I joined the Nighthawks! Leonard replied in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.
Pallez Zoroast continued.
"That's what I guessed as well.
"To be frank, your former colleague's relationship with Evernight really puzzles me. If it wasn't for the familiarity of the mysterious power that appeared that day, I wouldn't have dared to make such a guess.
"Heh heh, Zaratul and I are in Baekeland, and Amon is about to arrive. It's truly a perfect triangular balance."
What does that mean … The mysterious power that dealt with Amon came from the Evernight domain, and not Mr. Fool? Does this mean that Mr. Fool and the Goddess have a certain level of cooperation, or does one of the upper echelons of the Church actually believe in Mr. Fool? Leonard suddenly felt extremely confused and perplexed about his position.
Upon seeing Pallez admit that he was rather puzzled, he reined in his thoughts and didn't ask about it. He frowned slightly.
He frowned slightly and said, "Two Sequence 1 angels and a King of Angels. Will this bring a devastating disaster to Baekeland?"
He remembered that Amon was a terrifying existence that could silently kill countless people, and he could happily experience life as a victim.
With this as a reference, Zaratul, who was of a similar pathway, definitely had extremely terrifying and horrifying powers. If "He" were to clash with Amon, half of Baekeland or all of Baekeland would become the City of Death or the City of Bizarreness!
Pallez Zoroast laughed and said, "Balance means that everyone will restrain themselves.
Besides, it's very likely that Amon won't let his true body enter Baekeland. At most, he'll summon a large number of avatars. After all, Evernight's inability to do anything doesn't mean that Storm and Steam can't descend. "
"What do you mean? What do you mean by it can't be done? "Nader acutely grasped the crux of Old Man's words.
Pallez Zoroast's tone turned rather leisurely.
"Be it because of the war or other reasons, Evernight likely isn't able to interfere with the matters on the ground. Otherwise, why would 'He' draw Amon over to form a balance? 'He' could've directly set up a trap to capture Zaratul or scare away the cowardly Seer. "
"… Did something happen to the Goddess?" Leonard suddenly turned nervous.
The slightly-aged voice replied, "It might not be a bad thing.
It might also be a good thing. "
Without waiting for Leonard to ask again, Pallez Zoroast sighed again.
"Amon was attracted to Baekeland by me. What about Zaratul? What about me? "
"Zaratul likely did it because of you, and you did it because I'm in Baekeland …" Leonard replied after some thought.
"Heh, why do you think you're in Baekeland?" Pallez immediately scoffed.
Leonard immediately replied, "This is an arrangement by the Church.
It can't be because of the law of Beyonder characteristics convergence, right? " "That's not necessarily the case."
"Not necessarily." Pallez's tone turned slightly serious. "Most of the time, the law of Beyonder characteristic convergence isn't something you can directly sense. It's more of an influence on fate. It's just like when you board a train, but you suddenly find the scenery along the way very beautiful. Hence, you get off ahead of time and wander around a small city. This might be because there are Beyonders or mystical items of similar pathways nearby."
"In other words, there's something else in Baekeland that attracted you and Zaratul here, and through you, it affected my fate, causing me to be arranged by the Church to be in Baekeland most of the time?" Leonard sought confirmation with some understanding.
Pallez Zoroast slowly sighed.
"I can't rule out that possibility."
…
Above the gray fog, Klein quickly flipped to a valuable page in the diary.
21st November. As I had made too many preparations in advance, I obtained the chaotic and terrifying Grade 0 Sealed Artifact faster than I imagined.
"Then, after a difficult battle and with help, I finally restored it to a pure Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic.
"In a few days, the ritual's preparations will be complete. I should be able to advance to Sequence 1 Knowledge Emperor of the Mystery Pryer pathway.
"26th November. Clear sky with a gentle breeze.
"The ritual went smoothly, and I digested it thoroughly. The anchor was very stable, and I didn't encounter many difficulties during the entire process.
"I'm already a Sequence 1 angel, the Knowledge Emperor. From now on, Bernadette no longer needs to worry about the influence of the Hidden Sage. She can abide by the maxim of 'do whatever you want, but do no harm' and continue on this path!
"At the same time, being a Sequence 1 angel means that I can resist the gaze and corruption from the cosmos to a large extent. I can head to the crimson moon to see what's there.
"Regardless of whether Mr. Door is lying or not, everything points to the crux of the problem. If I want to become a true god, I have to figure out the reason.
"I'll attempt to land on the moon in another three days!
"This is a small step for me, but a huge step for humanity! Haha, that's not what I said. "
Upon seeing this, Klein recalled Rosell's hysterical diary page, and he increasingly suspected that it was recorded after the emperor's "moon landing."
Putting down the remaining unread diary pages, Klein began to recall the contents he had read over the past year through dream divination. He wanted to use the comparison to find clues to Rosell's abnormal mental state in his later years.
Not long after, he saw a few lines of text in his dream. This was the theoretical final diary entry of Rosell:
"I'm unable to give a specific suggestion because I can't see the seven deities or the true faces of those evil gods. This might have something to do with the contents of the second Blasphemy Slate hidden by that ancient organization. Unfortunately, I can only roughly guess that there's a hidden portion, but I'm unable to verify it."
In this diary entry, the emperor had solemnly warned his possible "companions" to be careful of the moon.
The dream suddenly shattered as Klein jolted awake. There was a clear look of horror in his eyes.
He clearly remembered that Rosell had confirmed that the second Blasphemy Slate had a hidden portion a long time ago.
"19th July, the night of the Blood Moon.
"Mr. Door's answer has allowed me to confirm one thing. The second Blasphemy Slate I saw in that ancient secret organization wasn't complete!"
This … Did the emperor forget? No, how could he forget such an important matter? He only looks a little extreme and a little extreme. There's nothing wrong with him, so why is this happening … Klein couldn't help but mutter silently to himself. He had an inexplicable and terrifying feeling.
The person who wrote the last diary entry, or rather, that sentence, Rosell The Great seemed to be a different person.
