"3rd June. After a discussion with Edwards and the rest, we gave up on the idea of reaching a tacit agreement with the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun. This might very well expose my true intentions, allowing the Sauron family and the old nobles who support them to notice ahead of time and make targeted arrangements. That would make things very difficult and dangerous."
"Unfortunately, Grimm died in the Fog Sea. He was the smartest one among us."
"Let it be chaotic, let it be chaotic! Only when there's complete chaos will I have a chance to fish in troubled waters! Only when the Sauron family is no longer able to clean up the situation will the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun be willing to acknowledge me! "
"Perhaps I should give those rebels some help, but how should I do it so covertly that no one can detect it?"
"4th June. The Secret Order's Zaratul came to visit me in secret. It was very sudden."
…
What happened after that? Klein happened to know the reason why the Secret Order's leader, Zaratul, sought Rosell on the eve of the rebellion and coup, but he discovered that the subsequent two pages of the diary had nothing to do with it.
This made him feel irrepressible vexation.
Although the three diary entries didn't have many detailed descriptions and were just straightforward accounts from the people involved, it still made Klein feel the rise and fall of the famous incident of Intis in 1173, which was more than a hundred years ago.
The history textbooks clearly recorded the outcome. As a colonel, Rosell quelled the rebellion and took advantage of the situation to launch a coup. He changed the Kingdom of Intis into a republic, with himself as consul.
In the next nineteen years, he reformed the code, encouraged inventions, and escorted the industrial revolution, greatly increasing the nation's strength. He also fought in the north and south, bringing Lenburg, Masin, Segar, and other countries under his protection. He made the Feysac Empire, the Rouen Kingdom, and the Feynapotter Kingdom succumb to him.
When he was about to reach twenty years as consul, at the end of 1192, Rosell changed the republic into an empire, calling himself Caesar.
Less than six years later, he perished in the White Maple Palace, ending the most legendary period of history in the Fifth Epoch.
Klein recalled the information he had read and increasingly felt that Rosell's death wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. It was just like how this famous incident definitely had the power struggle of Beyonders behind it. There was a balance between the Beyonder factions, and it wasn't the same as the descriptions in the textbooks.
"Grimm, one of Rosell's so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, has indeed died on the Fog Sea … In a previous diary entry, Rosell had recorded that something was wrong with this' Horseman '. This seems to have something to do with the island where many supernatural creatures live … Not only is it a fortuitous encounter, but it's also dangerous …" Klein thought of a certain previous entry and turned to the fifth page with a sigh.
The contents recorded on this page were not of much value. They were Rosell's comments after he drank the 1128 Aurmir red wine, the disillusionment he felt when he saw the woman he admired when he was young, only to discover that the woman's figure and appearance were out of shape, and the depraved conclusion of a certain period of time when he was addicted to playing cards.
The sixth page was similar to his daily life, but the last entry made Klein's eyes light up.
"8th April. I have to send someone to investigate the Secret Order and obtain more information. I can't be as passive as I was before. I can't be led by the nose by Zaratul again."
So, did you find anything, Comrade Rosell? Klein didn't manage to find any further content, so all he could do was force himself to calm down and wait for the The Hanging Man to submit the other six pages at the next Gathering.
He knew that the investigation information from more than a hundred years ago was unlikely to help him find any clues related to the Secret Order. After all, after such a long period of time, apart from the more special ones, many High-Sequence Beyonders had probably died of old age, much less the lower-middle level members. However, Klein believed that this could help him gain inspiration and grasp the identity and activity patterns that the Secret Order was accustomed to using.
Putting down the six diary pages, Klein tapped the edge of the long bronze table with his right index finger. His gaze slowly moved from Miss Justice to The Hanging Man and then to Sun.
Right, in the diary, Rosell The Great had a description: "The Lord who created everything, the omnipotent and omniscient God." This is very similar to the habits of the City of Silver. Where did he hear it from? The most ancient and secretive organization that secretly manipulates the situation in the World? This organization was born before the Forsaken Land of the Gods was formed?
Hmm … Suddenly, Klein had a new idea as he chuckled in a low and calm voice.
He said with a deep and calm smile, "Rosell mentioned some concealed history in his diary, as well as some simple general knowledge. The latter reminds me of something that I haven't told you."
Audrey suddenly fell into a daze as she half-turned her body and looked at the end of the long ancient table in surprise.
Mr. Fool took the initiative to mention the contents of Rosell's diary? What would be written on it? She was so excited that she had completely forgotten that she was a Spectator.
Compared to her, The Hanging Man, Alger, was a lot more composed, but his subconscious action of straightening his back still heartlessly betrayed him.
Only Sun, although he always believed that the items that Mr. Fool was interested in definitely contained many mysteries, he didn't know Rosell The Great. He didn't know what the name represented in the Northern Continent, so he couldn't hide his curiosity and didn't show much of an abnormal expression.
"Mr. Fool, what general knowledge did Rosell The Great mention? I can pay you in exchange for this information, "Audrey couldn't help but ask.
However, I request to communicate in private! She added silently in her heart.
Klein chuckled and said, "There's no need.
It's all simple general knowledge. "
As the convener of Tarot, I believe it's necessary to let all of you know after reading this diary. Of course, I know very well that some of you have already grasped it. "
He was mainly referring to Sun. The City of Silver had a history of two to three thousand years, so it was impossible for them not to discover the law of Beyonder characteristics indestructibility.
Furthermore, they were in a relatively extreme environment. Even though there was no lack of monsters in the darkness around them, there were times when they might not be able to obtain the corresponding ingredients they wanted. For the sake of heritage and the continuation of the entire city, it wasn't particularly unacceptable to use the Beyonder characteristics condensed from the remains of predecessors to create potions.
To them, this might even be a sacred and glorious ritual.
Of course, from his previous answers, Klein could tell that The Hanging Man also knew something.
It's a pity that I can't always get Miss Justice to pay in gold pounds and transfer the money to my adorer … My adorer also needs to be impressive … I can't destroy the image of a powerhouse that Mr. Aztec has created … Yes, I'll try again when I have the chance. After all, no matter how powerful an existence is, there will always be subordinates that run errands at the bottom, just like the Evernight Goddess's Sleepless … No one will ever suspect that the Evernight Goddess isn't a true god just because the Nighthawks are weak … Klein sighed silently.
"Thank you so much! Mr. Fool, you're really too generous! "Audrey replied happily.
She repented for three seconds for her vulgar attempt to use money to buy information.
Klein stopped tapping his fingers and calmly described, "The first common sense is the law of Beyonder characteristics indestructibility.
"The first common sense is the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility. Beyonder characteristics can't be destroyed or reduced. They just move from one thing to another.
I've unknowingly used the tone of Captain … The corners of Klein's mouth subconsciously curled up.
It won't be destroyed, nor will it be reduced. It will just move from one thing to another … Audrey ruminated over Mr. Fool's description and felt that there was too much meaning contained in this simple sentence.
Her emerald-green eyes darted around, and when she saw that The Hanging Man and Sun didn't show any signs of surprise or thought, she immediately understood that the two Tarot members had long known of this law.
I'm the only one who didn't know … She thought, feeling a little aggrieved, but she quickly began to praise Mr. Fool's kindness.
At that moment, Klein added,
"Therefore, a Beyonder who loses control will leave behind an item that has condensed a Beyonder characteristic after their death. It might be the main ingredient of a potion, or it might be a mystical item that needs to be sealed. It's the same for a normal Beyonder after their death, but it will be equivalent to a corresponding potion without any supplementary ingredients. Of course, it will also possess certain Beyonder powers and can be used as a mystical item."
These few plain words instantly echoed in Audrey's mind, layer by layer, continuously climbing, and finally converging into a huge thunderclap.
Audrey made the connection to cannibalism and to a question she had previously asked The Hanging Man. If the source of the ingredients was cut off, would the Sequence pathway be cut off as well?
Now, she knew the answer, but she wished she hadn't heard it. She felt like she was having a nightmare!
How could he be so cruel? How could it be so dark? Audrey had previously seen some bad things that involved Beyonders, but they all came from the wretchedness and evil of individuals, such as Mr. A and the Zillinges. It didn't affect her yearning and love for the Beyonder World in the mystical domain.
However, this time, she realized that the mysterious World was filled with gray and black.
Wake up, Audrey, you can't be any more naive! Think about losing control. The cruelty and darkness described by Mr. Fool can be foreseen … Since I've chosen this path, I have to walk down it bravely! Audrey consoled herself with a few words, and her mood eased a little.
She saw that The Hanging Man and Sun were only acting out of habit, as though they were very clear about what had just been said.
Hmph! Mr. The Hanging Man is so evil. He even wanted to exchange this information with me! Hmm … This information is indeed worth a generous reward and is rather important, but that's only to us. In the eyes of Mr. Fool, it's just simple common sense … Audrey suddenly felt like laughing as her mood improved. She slowly put aside the various extreme examples she had just thought of.
Klein wasn't surprised by the reaction of the three members. He continued in a calm tone, "That's right.
"The second general knowledge is the law of conservation of Beyonder characteristics within similar Sequences."
Beyonder characteristics conservation … The Hanging Man changed his sitting posture slightly, feeling that he had understood something, but he was unable to completely figure out what this law represented or what it entailed.
Justice and Sun felt the same way. They were unable to understand the true meaning of this law.
"Why is it a similar Sequence?" Alger couldn't help but ask.
Klein replied with a smile, "Yes.
"What do you want to pay for the answer?"
One of his thoughts just now was that general knowledge was free while explanations were charged. This was in line with his identity and would not waste information.
