Chapter 751 Shocked, the Blood Emperor actually
This was just a casual guess by Angel and Klein. Just to give it a try, Klein arranged a simple sacrificial ceremony, praying to "the essence of death, the monarch of the dead, and the final destination of all living things." Even if their guess was wrong, and the authority of the "artificial god of death" was not in the hands of the goddess, this existence, which had never responded to believers since its birth, would not react.
Unexpectedly, after he used the oil-stained white feather as a ritual material and prayed to the God of Death to respond to the conspiracy between the "Pale Hand" and Ince Zangwill, the "God of Death" actually responded, took the feather, and gave the answer:
The renegade archbishop was possessed by an evil spirit, so he needed the help of Palenque Tasib of the Spiritual Order to exorcise it.
That being said, his condition wasn't great either. So, with Sequence 4 strength and a Level 0 Sealed Artifact, he was being chased around by a War Bishop... No, the fact that he caused a commotion in a crowded area might have been a bit of a performance. I can't deny my stance...
While The Fool was thinking, the Tarot Club members under his seat, led by Audrey, the Justice, came to greet him one after another, and then it was time for the part he looked forward to most every week.
"Dear Mr. Fool, I only brought one page of my diary this week."
Everyone was silent for a while. Only the "Hermit" Cattleya materialized a parchment filled with content. No one else contributed.
Phew, this should be the norm for the Tarot Club in the future. Russell didn't actually write in a diary every day, only jotting down important matters. These diaries would gradually become complete as everyone collected them. They also wrote down some Chinese numbers so they could easily distinguish between duplicates and not casually donate duplicate parts... Muttering, Klein looked at the "Queen" Angel beside him. When everyone first presented their diaries, she handed over the diary that belonged to Old Neil from Tingen City, which aroused Klein's initial suspicion.
After getting the only diary page from this week, Klein gathered his thoughts, rubbed his hands inwardly, and looked at this part.
"April 26th, hahahaha, yesterday I learned from that pitiful being lost in the darkness, the guy who calls himself Mr. 'Gate', that 'Blood Emperor' Alistair Tudor actually had two children with a witch. And these weren't just any witches, they were 'Original Witches'!
"No way, he doesn't know that the original witch's original name was Chike???"
At the end of this part, Russell used three "?" to express his doubts. Judging from the Chinese expression, this question mark usually means another meaning rather than a simple question.
Like the headlines now favored by the Intis Post:
"Shocked! 'Blood Emperor' Alistair Tudor actually tasted the power of a witch. What's the reason behind this???"
I remember Russell lamenting that the name of the "Original Witch," Chike, was commonly used by men. This section of the diary should have been written after that time... But this secret history is too bizarre. Alistair Tudor, who jumped from the "Black Emperor" path to the "Red Priest," actually had offspring with the Original Witch? It must have been before the jump to godhood, otherwise it would be difficult to suppress the tendency to "converge." Forget lying in the same bed, even appearing in the same city would be a bloody storm in the next second...
Countless thoughts flashed through Klein's mind, and he couldn't wait to look down. He knew that the diary handed over by the "Hermit" was provided by the "Mysterious Queen", who was Roselle's daughter. The part of the diary she received must be the one she considered most important, and it was the original version. There would be no inconsistencies in the time period or even incoherence.
Sure enough, the next diary entry was from April 27th.
"After hearing the above message, I was overly excited, so I wrote some strange words... Now that I think about it, I should have respected the Blood Emperor's private life. No matter how crazy he became in his later years, his union with the Primordial Witch was likely intentional, and deserves everyone's respect and blessing.
"This makes me even more curious about their descendants. Are they male or female? Did they inherit some of their parents' characteristics? Are they still alive? After all, that's history from over a thousand years ago, and it's one of the most secretive parts. I think it will be difficult to get the answers."
The Emperor seemed to have entered Sage Time, expressing a different perspective on his previous day's nonsense... Hmm, he mentioned "the taste of witches" in his diary. Was it because he felt ashamed when he recalled his past, which was too painful to recall? Speaking of which, he never mentioned witches again in his other diaries. Could it be that he was too embarrassed to bring it up again? But why did he keep that diary entry lamenting the taste of witches? What was the reason?
Klein felt amused, but a hint of curiosity also arose in his heart. He imagined the identity of the descendants of the "Blood Emperor" and the "Original Witch" hidden behind history.
Then he turned his gaze to the last section.
"On April 30th, a clue was found. The witch angel, Crismena, who died in the 'Four Emperors' War' that destroyed Old Trier, was the daughter of Alistair Tudor and the original witch Chike. She and her father died on the same battlefield."
This diary entry did not contain any emotional descriptions. It simply recorded the clues Russell found that day, but it contained some unknown emotions.
As expected of the Emperor, he found it right away. He must have gone to the catacombs and explored the "Chrismena Night Pillars" there. According to the information Angel obtained, if one goes deep into the contaminated underground area, one might find his own "Mirror Man"... Klein couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly an idea came to him.
Judging by the timeframes in the previous diaries, Roselle's daughter Bernadette had already been born and grown up, and the Emperor had also entered the High Sequence. Could it be because of his own daughter that he was so moved... Klein pondered silently for a moment, put down the parchment, and looked up at the Tarot Club members who had been waiting for a while. His gaze finally rested on the Hermit, and he spoke:
"Do you have any questions?"
Cattleya, the Hermit, was well prepared and immediately asked:
"I want to know if this diary mentions the great emperor's descendant."
She was probably asking about her "daughter." I imagine Bernadette was right beside the Emperor as he wrote this diary entry with a stern face and suppressed laughter. And he must have glanced at his daughter as he wrote the last paragraph...
Klein suddenly remembered a diary entry in which the Emperor asked Zaratul about the future of his three descendants, and the answer given by this "fortune teller" was: Bernadette would hate him, despise him, and betray him.
There is no doubt that he was worried about his daughter's future at that moment and gave her the most love and help to try to change this outcome. Then when he learned about Christine's death, he had similar concerns again.
After figuring this out, Klein the Fool chuckled and replied in a nonchalant tone:
"No, but another 'daughter' was mentioned. She is the daughter of the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Original Witch'."
As for the rest, you, especially Bernadette, can figure it out on your own. I didn't say anything... He muttered to himself, ignoring the shocked expressions of the crowd, and continued to order:
"You may proceed."
Then, he immediately controlled the "world" opposite him and said in a low, hoarse voice:
"I would like to issue an urgent commission. Go to the ruins of Bansy Harbor and conduct a thorough investigation. Report anything suspicious to me."
This wasn't aimless, but rather the clue Klein needed to answer a question.
Cattleya, the Hermit, was still in shock at gaining new historical knowledge and was stunned for a moment. The Hanged Man, however, had recovered and asked doubtfully:
"I've been there once, and the entire port is just a ruin. What do you want to know?"
"everything."
Klein repeated mysteriously.
This...if my "Blue Avenger" wasn't nearby and could arrive in one night, I wouldn't even want to make this trip...Alger muttered, and "Tearful" accepted the task for a reward of 500 pounds.
Seeing that the two had reached a deal, "Sun" Derrick raised his hand, which made his height exceed 2 meters, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Mr. World, later today, Silver City will be organizing an expedition to North City. Shapeshifters are lurking there, which are the very same Trickers you're looking for. If we capture these monsters, my contribution should be a priority in exchange for some materials."
"very good."
Klein nodded in satisfaction. All he needed was the eye and blood of the "Tricker" to complete the ingredients for the "Tricker" potion. Of course, to fully digest the Sequence 5 potion, he still needed a large-scale performance as expected. Such an opportunity was rare, so he planned to head to the more chaotic West Balam later to look for opportunities.
As for whether the Sun could get the materials immediately, he didn't care. After all, the chief of the City of Silver, Colin Iliad, had already recited the Fool's Honorable Name and became another object of exchange.
"I have a question," Alger, the "Hanged Man," looked at Derrick and interjected, "Did you take the initiative to propose exploring that city, or did someone else do it?"
"It was our chief who proposed it, and I happen to be on the team list." Derrick glanced curiously at Alger beside him. "Does it make any difference?"
Of course there is, and it's huge... Alger, the "Hanged Man," angrily scolded the "Sun" in his heart for being ignorant of the world.
"The fact that your chief formed a team and went to the monster habitat you happened to need means that he most likely understood your needs and is trying to meet them. You should know what this means."
He said mysteriously.
Does this mean I've already exposed my faith in Mr. Fool? No, it's already been exposed... This means that after the Chief's last contact with Mr. Fool and the assistance he provided, he was prepared to sacrifice the Trickery Monster to please this deity friendly to the City of Silver!
Derrick immediately thought of this and secretly glanced at the head of the long table. He found that The Fool in the gray fog had not made any movement, as if all this had been anticipated by Him.
Justice, the Hermit, and Angel all thought of this at the same time. The latter pondered this further. She secretly glanced at Klein, the doubts that had arisen countless times in her heart resurfaced.
"Mr. Fool seems to treat Klein more specially than other Tarot Club members? Hmm, He seems to have some special care for me as well, but compared to Klein, it seems insignificant. Could it be..."
"...Could it be that this specialness towards me is because of Klein?"
She seemed to have found the key to the problem and her eyes lit up.
…
After completing some more transactions, the meeting entered the stage of information exchange. The Hermit Cattleya immediately looked at the Queen and said carefully:
"The matter of that 'craftsman' has been properly resolved."
The craftsman, you mean Sharf, right? Angel woke up from his doubts and nodded subconsciously. He glanced at the Hanged Man and said:
“Will he be able to provide normal services in the future?”
"Aside from being a little afraid of mushrooms, everything about him is the same as before." Cattleya's expression changed slightly, as if she had thought of something funny. "Also, I want to know about the 'Admiral of Hell'. Is he really as the rumors say... did he die and his ship sank?"
Hearing this question, all the members present pricked up their ears and cast curious eyes on the former "Ship Breaker", current "Golden Queen", "Queen" Angel, looking forward to her answer.
