Upon hearing his question, Klein was momentarily at a loss for an answer. He couldn't possibly tell him that he had fallen out of a dream suspected to belong to Queen Mystic.
He looked at the unlucky Strongest Hunter indifferently, raised his right hand, and pointed upwards.
"If that's the case …" Anderson Hood nodded in understanding.
What are you thinking of … I don't even know what I'm trying to express … Klein's lips moved indiscernibly. He changed the topic and recalled.
"I met someone just now …"
"Not someone we know? Not a member of the Future? The one who walked out from the depths of this hall? "Anderson suddenly became excited.
This fellow doesn't have the airs of a Strongest Hunter at all. He's just like a hot reporter in a newspaper … Klein lampooned silently.
"She asked me to tell you a prophecy."
"She … what prophecy?" Anderson was a little surprised.
If I were to use my identity as Klein Moretti, I would reply, "Sorry, I forgot. She only said it once." As Klein imagined the prank that wouldn't happen, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry.
"The deadliest danger is often hidden in the most ordinary life."
Anderson listened attentively and hissed.
"This sentence is absolutely right! I nearly drank myself into a retard. Who would have expected that most of the crew on the Future would drink problematic alcohol! "
He pondered for a few seconds and asked worriedly,
"That's it?
"Did you forget any details or key words?"
I think you're provoking me … Klein ignored Anderson Hood and walked to the entrance of the hall of murals. He looked at Frank, Nina, and the rest outside.
Back at the library, he had first been forced into a passive state by Queen Mystic's sudden accusation that he was Hero Bandit Black Emperor. Following that, he had attempted to disrupt her rhythm and not follow her lead. Therefore, he had been extremely tense. His thoughts were completely focused on how to respond and engage in a verbal confrontation. He didn't have the time or opportunity to review the entire process and dig out any details that he couldn't figure out. Now, he finally had the time.
First, the most important problem that I have to immediately figure out is how much Queen Mystic knows about my identity and Rosell's diary.
"Hmm … She thinks that I have mastered the way to interpret the words created by Rosell The Great and not the words themselves. Although the two meanings are not too different, it is enough to prove that the identity of the Emperor and I as transmigrators is something that she can't think of and doesn't have any clues pointing to.
Miss Sharon isn't someone who has just entered the mysticism circle, nor is she a novice who has just come into contact with complicated matters. When she found someone to help me forge an identity, it was impossible for her to reveal who the client was. Furthermore, the photo I provided was of the German Sparrow …
In other words, Queen Mystic hasn't come to the conclusion that Sherlock Moriarty is equivalent to German Sparrow. Yes, if she's already aware, just as I thought, it would be better to address him as Mr. Dark Emperor Sherlock Moriarty. The impact on my psychological defenses would be three to five times greater than directly calling him Hero Bandit Dark Emperor.
From her point of view, how did she find any useful information from those scattered clues?
She knew that the bookmark was the Dark Emperor card; hence, she connected the ghost-like Hero Bandit Dark Emperor to the strange Spirit Body that stole the Card of Blasphemy from the Royal Museum. Then, due to King of the Five Seas Nast's sudden appearance in the Rorsted Archipelago, she guessed that Hero Bandit Dark Emperor might've also appeared in Bayam, appearing in the archipelago.
After investigations, she discovered the familiar identity of German Sparrow, and from the similarity between his and Hero Bandit Dark Emperor's activities, she made a guess. She then chased after him and infiltrated the Future to observe me from a close distance.
This is logical, but there are certain coincidences. King of the Five Seas Nast appears wherever he wishes. Perhaps he's just reminiscing about a particular lady in the Red Theater, so he made the ship traverse the spirit world and enter the Rorsted Archipelago. Perhaps Bayam happens to have High-Sequence Beyonder ingredients of the Dark Emperor pathway that emit a strong attraction to him … There's no way to directly connect this to Hero Bandit Dark Emperor.
Of course, it's not incomprehensible for Queen Mystic to make such a connection. Perhaps she'd rather be wrong about important clues than let them go. Heh, this is a good habit, but it's tiring.
Also, there's a high chance that she didn't lock onto German Sparrow from the beginning. However, in the Rorsted Archipelago, in the City of Generosity, Bayam, the crazy adventurer, German Sparrow, is rather famous. As long as she hears this name and compares it to the time, she can make a basic judgment.
Sigh, it's better to keep a low profile. Thankfully, the acting is finally over. I can make the identity of German Sparrow vanish in the future! Klein thought through the entire matter and felt that he had more or less figured out the problem.
However, he had another thought and another guess.
It was that when Admiral of Stars Cattleya brought German Sparrow on board, she had been too high-profile. It was as though she was afraid that others wouldn't know that the crazy adventurer was cooperating with her!
Perhaps, she was hinting at something. Then, Queen Mystic came and learned of German Sparrow. She figured out the trajectory of my activities at sea, and with a comparison, she made a judgment. She said that she was tricking me, but she was actually rather certain! With one hand in his pocket, Klein walked out of the hall of murals. His target was Admiral of Stars Cattleya, who was outside the black cloister. He planned on taking advantage of her being half-asleep to directly ask for an answer.
At this point, he had actually relaxed quite a bit. This was because Queen Mystic clearly only knew that German Sparrow was equivalent to Hero Bandit Black Emperor, a Beyonder who worked for some important figure. She didn't know anything more secretive.
Even if she connected the incident to the great detective, Sherlock Moriarty, who appeared nearby on the night the Black Emperor card was stolen, it wouldn't be too problematic.
From a long time ago, I've been treating Sherlock Moriarty as the World, as well as the Blessed of The Fool. German Sparrow is an extension of this identity. Heh heh, this is a preparation for such situations. I've always felt that I shouldn't treat others as fools. As long as a person has activities, a trajectory, and interpersonal relationships, there will always be some exposure. Therefore, I've prepared this identity for these smart people ahead of time. Their daily lives also strictly follow the corresponding settings.
And for a Blessed of an important figure to be able to understand Rosell's diary, it's completely understandable and acceptable. It's a normal gift from a specific existence.
Hehe, you didn't expect it, right? There's still a mask beneath the mask!
Amidst his thoughts, Klein also felt that the gray fog's help and his cautiousness had played quite a role. If he hadn't sensed someone watching him ahead of time and instinctively followed his heart's will, he might've summoned the messenger under Queen Mystic's gaze.
The messenger itself won't expose anything. I'm just afraid that Queen Mystic has the means to track it and find Mr. Aztec. From his recent whereabouts, she can dig out my identity as Klein Moretti … Klein passed through the square that was pierced with many giant arrows and walked out of the black cloister. He saw Admiral of Stars Cattleya still hugging her knees as she stared at the beautiful scenery under the dusk.
Klein leaped onto the boulder and came to the side of the withered tree. He looked at the magnificent buildings on the opposite mountain peak and asked casually,
"In Nas, you displayed the Star Bridge and paved the way to board the ship. Did you have other motives?"
Cattleya leaned her head a little and said,
"I'm not telling you!"
"…" Klein was momentarily at a loss as to how to respond.
He originally believed that the Admiral of Stars in the World of Dreams would be very honest, but he never expected such a situation. Of course, this was also a form of honesty, but it was a character that was honest.
After two seconds of silence, Klein decided to bluff her.
"You wish to use this method to inform someone that I'm worth paying attention to?"
Cattleya exhaled as she sat hugging her knees without changing her posture.
"Something like that.
"It's mainly to tell others that if I encounter a rather serious problem or show any obvious abnormalities, you are a clue."
Indeed … Klein sighed inwardly.
He could understand that Admiral of Stars had done something to protect herself, but as The Fool, this was an act that needed to be dealt with.
However, I can't directly use this matter to flare up. It will appear as though The Fool is too protective of his Blessed, making him look like he doesn't have a high enough stance … Yes, Admiral of Stars definitely didn't just do something like that. I can use this series of actions as a whole to deal a blow … Klein quickly came up with an idea. He no longer felt too flustered about his encounter in the World of Dreams.
As for Queen Mystic's suggestion, he didn't even consider it.
Rosell The Great's diary had records of transmigration and Earth. If he were to teach Queen Mystic the deciphering method and she discovered this point, she would be able to come up with even more fatal guesses!
She's wary of the important figure behind me who can easily lend out the Sea God Scepter, so she won't do anything too forceful. If I really need her help with something, or if she has grasped hold of something crucial, I can promise to translate a few pages of key diary entries for her, but I'll definitely not teach her Chinese. Yes, even if I translate, I'll have to mix in some words and words that are similar. I'll only ensure that the main point is correct. This way, she won't be able to reverse engineer it … Klein retracted his gaze and casually asked Admiral of Stars Cattleya,
"Rumor has it that you've fallen out with Queen Mystic, but according to my observations, that's not the case."
Cattleya's perplexed expression suddenly changed. She pursed her lips and said, "Yes.
"What right do I have to fall out with her?
"I'm only an exiled person."
Exiled … Klein was just about to ask again when blinding sunlight shone in, causing him to wake up naturally.
Looking at the resplendent sky outside, he wiped his forehead and muttered silently,
"What a terrifying dream."
Putting away his wistful thoughts, Klein got out of bed and came to the deck. He continued observing his surroundings and waited for the mermaid to appear.
Nearly an hour later, he finally heard a thin, faintly discernible singing coming from afar.
