Amidst Miss Justice's greeting, The Hermit Cattleya maintained her calm attitude as a bystander. She wasn't overly engrossed, as though she was still an outsider to the gathering.
She watched as Miss Justice and Miss Magicians took out Rosell's diary pages and paid off their debts. Then, she carefully glanced at Mr. Fool, not daring to look at him directly. However, she was still unable to see anything through the strange gray fog. Her dark purple eyes could only reflect the clothes that were definitely conjured.
With the three pages of Rosell's diary pages in hand, Klein didn't read them as eagerly as usual. After all, he had already touched and used a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. He had seen what a Beyonder pathway's Uniqueness looked like, and he had effectively intimidated such a divine artifact. He believed that no matter what Rosell The Great wrote, it would be difficult for him to be too shocked.
Unless he was bestowed a Demoness's Blessing by a powerhouse with unique powers, temporarily turning him into a woman … Klein joked inwardly as he surveyed the long bronze table with interest.
Eh, Ma 'am Hermit's curiosity is different from Miss Justice and company. She seems to place great importance on the matter of Rosell's diary pages? Klein retracted his gaze and memorized what he had just discovered. Then, he casually read the yellowish-brown goatskin in his hand.
"22nd April. We prepared to enter and explore the Abyss."
"23rd April. We followed the pitch-black sea, passed through the liquid-like fog, and arrived at the monster-like mountain. Behind it was an endless black fog that seemed to cover an entire continent.
"However, if one were to look at the bottom of the mountain, one would find it endless and limitless. Back then, I jokingly told Edwards that if I were to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff here, I might never reach the ground, but I would forever be falling."
Upon seeing this, Klein nearly pricked up his brows. He found it unbelievable that Rosell would dare to organize his knights and sailors to explore the borders after seeing the Abyss.
"Isn't he afraid of death? It was rumored that it was a place that could corrode everything and cause all living beings to fall! At this stage, Rosell definitely hasn't reached Sequence 4. He's not a demigod, and he's at most Sequence 5. He might not even be … If it were me, I would've immediately turned the ship around and reported it to the Church … At that instant, Klein once again realized how great the difference between him and Rosell was.
In addition, Rosell's description of the boundary of the Abyss reminded Klein of the mysterious stone door in Amon's mausoleum. After the "doll" of the Church of Steam and Machinery Archbishop Horamick touched it, a similar scene appeared.
I wonder what Rosell will find there … At least he didn't die because of this exploration and lived a very exciting life … Klein looked down and read the rest of the diary page.
"On the 24th of April, we went down the mountain and tried to go deeper.
"That black fog is cold and slippery, as though it can seep through flesh and soul. Haha, fortunately, certain items on the Black King's Throne can effectively resist this sort of corrosion. Otherwise, I suspect that my Horsemen and I would have become members of the Falan Dance Troupe. (Note 1)
"It's very quiet here. We didn't discover anything."
"On the 25th of April, we saw devils, but all that was left of them were rotting corpses.
"Behind the jagged black rocks, beneath the mud that can't be called a path, there are different devil corpses in various places that are either normal or unimaginable.
"They seem to have suffered the same death at the same moment."
"On the 26th of April, it's either corpses or silence. There's no end in front of us.
"The items on the Black King's Throne are beginning to show signs of corrosion.
"I've rarely felt fear in recent years, but here, the fear of the unknown is like an invisible hand that tightly grips my heart.
"I have to leave! I have to return! I can't stay any longer! "
What happened after that? Did Rosell The Great successfully escape the boundary of the Abyss, or did he encounter something else? What does the anomaly there symbolize? An intense war? Klein subconsciously flipped to the second page with anticipation, but he regretfully discovered that there was no connection between the events before and after.
"8th of May. My adorable Bernadette is about to turn two. The older she grows, the more likable she becomes. As expected of a young lady who inherited my and her mother's excellent genes.
"Hearing her clear voice calling me daddy and seeing her lively figure, I suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Ever since I transmigrated to this World, I've done many things. Some of them can even be said to be shameful, but I don't feel ashamed, nor do I regret it. On the one hand, it's because I'm someone who finds it difficult to restrain my desires and is easily influenced by my surroundings. Heh heh, I have to thank fate that I've never encountered a Desire Apostle of the Devil pathway. Otherwise, according to the records, I'd definitely be severely restrained by a Beyonder of this Sequence. I might even be instantly killed.
"On the other hand, I still have a sense of alienation towards this World. My parents in this life are very good to me, and I've tried my best to make them proud. However, I know that my feelings for them are very weak. Similarly, this is how I feel towards Matilda. It's more possessive than emotional.
"I have to admit that my mentality is like playing a virtual reality role-playing game. My parents, wife, brothers, and friends are just NPCs. I can invest some feelings into them, but I won't really take them to heart. Therefore, I can participate in all kinds of degenerate gatherings without any guilt. I can coldly deal with people I once knew, just like how I slaughtered an entire village for a chicken back in ancient times.
"But after Bernadette was born, I realized that I have a sense of belonging to this World. I'm no longer so alienated.
"This is my child, a living child.
"Perhaps this is what it means to be mature?"
There's no way to experience such a feeling without a child. No, I don't even have a girlfriend … However, I have to be wary of the mentality mentioned in the Emperor's diary … It didn't exist in the past, but it doesn't mean that it won't appear in the future. The higher the Sequence, the more godlike one is than human … Klein sighed silently and flipped to the third diary page.
"6th January. A new year, a new beginning.
"After advancing to Artisan, I finally have the ability to do that!
"That is to create the mysterious silver plate in my memories. There's a high chance that it caused my transmigration!
"Actually, after becoming a Savant, I've completely recalled what it looks like. I've recalled the strange symbols and patterns on its surface, but back then, I could clearly sense that I was unable to replicate a similar item.
"9th January. After a few failures, I finally succeeded.
"With this silver plate covered in strange symbols and patterns, I tried my best to inject my spirituality into it in an attempt to stimulate it.
"An endless grayish-white fog seemed to appear in front of me, but nothing happened after that.
"Is it because of the material, or is it because I lack the necessary steps?
"10th January. According to the memories I had before my transmigration, I restored the state I was in back then. I believed that I was no longer lacking anything, but the mysterious silver plate still only allowed me to see the strange gray fog. It was unable to help me complete anything.
"Since this doesn't work, how did I succeed in transmigrating back then?
"I temporarily gave up on trying and destroyed the silver plate I created. Perhaps when I become a High-Sequence Beyonder and a demigod, I'll have a way to decipher the meaning of the patterns and symbols, and figure out the mystery of transmigration.
"Yes, I'll definitely become a demigod! I'm the protagonist of this era! "
Grayish-white fog? After the Emperor replicated the mysterious silver plate on Earth, he saw an endless grayish-white fog! Klein's pupils constricted as he read the diary.
Under his feet, there was a boundless gray fog that seemed to have never changed since the beginning of time!
"Could it be that my transmigration with the Emperor has something to do with this mysterious space? But why is it that the Emperor can't enter, but I can? According to the diary entries from the final stages of the Emperor's life, he definitely didn't manage to unravel the secret of the silver plate. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of this place when he was at his most desperate and crazy. He wouldn't have not used this place as something to rely on … Klein looked up as his gaze landed outside the ancient palace.
He remembered that deep in this mysterious space, there was a staircase of light that seemed to lead to heaven. It vaguely corresponded to his Sequence.
The staircase seemed to have been built by a giant, and its destination was a layer of grayish-white fog that seemed to be holding something up in midair.
The secret of my and Rosell The Great's transmigration is hidden there? Klein made the diary in his palm vanish, leaned back in his chair, and said in a normal tone, "You may begin."
"You may begin."
Sun had originally planned on purchasing the Sequence 6 potion formula after High Priest Sun, but Elder Lovia's release made him temporarily give up on this plan. He couldn't wait to reveal the entire matter, hoping to receive the necessary guidance.
Considering that this was the trading segment, he forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart and continued to wait in silence.
Something's on Little Sun's mind … Something happened to the City of Silver? Audrey retracted her gaze in thought and similarly didn't ask for anything.
At that moment, The Hanging Man, Alger, looked around and took the initiative to say,
"I need the Ocean Songster potion formula."
Indeed, he's already a Sequence 6, a Wind-blessed … Isn't he a member of the Church of the Storm? Why is he seeking the potion formula of the Ocean Songster? It's much easier to get it from the inside … Does he have a secret that he wants to hide from the Church of the Storm, or was he just pretending to be a member of the Church of the Storm? Cattleya instantly had many guesses as she nodded slightly.
"I can help you keep an eye out."
Upon receiving The Hermit's response, Alger took the opportunity to ask,
"What do you need, madam?
"I can gather clues in advance so that I can use them to exchange for potion formulas in the future."
